  8. What an incredible picture. When you say beached, does that mean he had no ability to get back to the ocean? Poor thing.

    You asked about my photo, and you're totally right about the location! We were on a school field trip to a Balboa Park museum, and I took those pics before we met up with his class. Good eye!

  9. That looks like a Loggerhead Turtle but I don't know if they have those in the Pacific or not. I soooo hope that the guy/girl was ok. Do you have a Sea Turtle Rescue place there? Our wildlife hospital here has three tanks and we have had quite a few as patients over the years.

  14. Like the others, I sure hope s/he's okay. Send him to Sanibel and Snowbird will get him fixed right up!

  16. Ummmm....it looks washed up to me, there are no track marks & her eyes don't look so good. I hope I'm wrong & she was just coming ashore to lay eggs. As a child in Northern Australia we watched the turtles come ashore to lay their eggs, slow but amazing!

  17. What a great picture. We were Maui in April and got to swim with the sea turtles. It was really fun. We didn't see any on land, though.

  19. Swimming with the turtles was one of our most memorable moments from our trip to Oahu. It was so cool to be that close to a large sea creature.
