Turtle Hatching at the Piro Research Station
A childlike joy fills your heart during an up-close experience with the early stages of an endangered sea turtle’s life: hold a freshly hatched sea turtle in your hand, feel it wiggle around, place it on the sand and see it sprint across the beach to the ocean as you ward off predators. All this while you are on the turtle hatching tour at the Piro Research Station.
