Description: Hey peeps! Many people have asked me about the turtle that is shown with me in my channel photo. Here is the video that I took while releasing her back into the water. Help Me Continue My Work of Saving Sea Turtles! If you like what I am doing, please consider helping me to continue protecting and researching sea turtles. I cannot do it without your help. It only takes 500 of you, who can spare a fancy coffee per month, to make a real change. Download the new MilkyWire app and join me in saving sea turtles. Thank you, you are amazing!

I am humbled each time I am allowed to be close to one of these ancient mariners, no matter how many times that might have already happened. The video was taken during research in Costa Rica, which is permitted by the MINAE/ SINAC in Costa Rican and approved by the IACUC in the USA. ---------------------------------- I sincerely hope you enjoy, and definitely let me know if you want more videos by giving this one a like and a share.
