Green turtles are, like all other sea turtle species, endangered. This one got a bit curious before snacking on some fish trapped in a fishing net. Although it did get itself a bit tangled - it managed to escape - not a fate granted to most turtles that come across a net.

Thanks! I was worried, but it got free, swam away happily eating more fish!
Very pleased to hear this guy survived his experience!
So beautiful
Kerrigan - they have a pretty global distribution so it's very likely!
I think I seen a turtle like that one in Florida
Beautiful first picture! I hate what happens with the fishing nets. Glad to hear he had a safe escape this time.
Hi Randy, when you upload a spotting on the website, there's space for various useful links on the bottom right of the page, on the iPhone it's at the bottom of the new spotting page.
Thank you for including the Wiki link? How do you do that anyway?
