800 Pound Leatherback Sea Turtle Lays Eggs

Recently I blogged about the giant Leatherback Turtles that are so severly endangered. Well, I have good news for you! Yesterday, an  800 lb Leatherback celebrated Cinco de Mayo by laying her eggs at the Canaveral National Seashore! Normally Leatherback Turtles  lay their eggs at night. However, in this case this girl came out of the water, dug her nest and layed her eggs in broad daylight...very rare! On average only 200 Leatherback nests are layed in the entire state of Florida each year. So, to see one during the day is a real treat! See the short video of the Leatherback on the beach below!
