Flatback sea turtle

Natator depressus

Description:

One of the many hatchlings from a nest that had just started to emerge while I was working with the Australian Parks Authority in the Northern Territory. Many of them didn't survive sine the sun was just rising and the many predators could easily see them.

Very cool. I am trying to get to Australia next year to study abroad. Thats what I want to do, work with sea turtles. Any suggestions on a good school there? I was thinking about James Cook University in Cairns.
