Baby leatherback turtles that were rescued after being dug out of their nest by a dog. The rescuers work for the St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network, and specialize in rescuing leatherbacks. They kept them until the sun went down, and released them on the beach at night, when they are normally supposed to hatch.

Baby Leatherback sea turtle’s first feeding

This is the first feeding for the baby leatherbacks in the FAU research building located at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton, Florida. Jeanette Wyneken is the lead researcher for the gender studies with the sea turtle hatchlings. It is so rare to see these little turtles, I hope you enjoy. The food in Jeanette’s hand is hard to make out as it is white like the tank and her glove. The food is a mixture jellyfish and other proteins made into a soft solid which they take to readily. The post-hatchlings are only in the study until they are large enough to determine which gender they will be. The tethers are temporary and keep the hatchling from coming in contact with the walls of the tank. When leatherback hatchlings are not participating in research studies they swim in the open ocean. Because there are no natural solid walls in the open ocean most blue water creatures do not recognize barriers. The leatherback hatchlings do not recognize walls and would continue swimming into the sides of the tank. The leashes (tethers) prevent the hatchlings from injuring themselves on the tank walls. They allow the hatchlings to swim and dive as much as they like.

night swimming…

Some cool Leatherback babies images:

night swimming…
Leatherback babies

Image by ben matthews :::
last night, shortly after dinner, i thought i saw a frog in one of the drainage areas of the villa – on closer inspection, i found a relative of this little guy. apparently, a huge number hatched last night, the beach was covered. sadly, the natural instinct is to go towards the light, as the moon is most often over the sea. however, they were coming toward the lights of our villa, and finding their way onto our decks… so, our after dinner entertainment was rescuing around 50 of these little darlings, and sending them back into the ocean. the texture of their shells may be my new favourite thing ever….

The Leatherback Turtle and Suzan Lakhan Baptiste

In the 1980′s Matura Beach on the east coast of the island of Trinidad,  was a killing field for Leatherback turtles. Today, on Matura Beach, there are no Leatherback turtles being killed and this  is now one of the largest breeding grounds in the world for these magnificent creatures. This is all thanks to one woman, Suzan Lakhan Baptiste.
 
The mass slaughter of the Leatherback turtle on  had a huge impact on both the Leatherback population and the community of Matura. The Leatherback population diminished rapidly and the economy of Matura suffered. The only people that who benefited from the slaughter of the Leatherback were the poachers, who sold the meat for high prices. Matura Beach was littered with disposed Leatherback carcases and was no longer attractive to tourists and day trippers.
 
Suzan Lakhan Baptiste, a resident of Matura, took it upon herself to change all this.

She would bravely go to the beach at night and try to reason with the poachers, eventually getting through to them that what they were doing was wrong. She spoke to the residents of Matura, and convinced them that the Leatherback turtle was an asset to the community and should be preserved. Her efforts paid off and led to the formation, in 1990, of the Nature Seekers organisation which was set up to protect the Leatherback turtle.
 
Thanks to Suzan Lakhan Baptiste, Matura Beach once again has its tourists and the Leatherback turtle has made a healthy comeback. Suzan Lakhan Baptiste is certainly a very remarkable woman and an asset to her community.
