Because they're one of the most endangered turtle species, Loggerhead nests are usually protected. Even though this little guy hatched in a safe space, his long trek to the ocean is still a harrowing one, and at any moment he could be eaten by a bird or bigger fish. This is really nature at its finest, and it's awesome to watch.
Because these turtles have a low reproductive rate, and so much of their habitat has been disturbed, it's important that humans find ways to make their journey from hatchlings to adults an easier one. We owe it to them, because they were definitely here first!
Watching this clip had me on the edge of my seat, and the James Bond type music playing while he's making a run for it really had me rooting for him! you've got to watch to see if he gets to his destination safely! Please SHARE!
