A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
I think you're right annorion! Thanks for the help.
Yep, I agree that it is a Hawksbill :).
No but I need to! This was just about a month after the spill.
I did a behavioral study on them once. I watched them for an hour while video taping the whole thing. I wrote down every single behavior a certain individual I was watching did during that hour. Afterwards I had to write a paper on it and present my findings to the animal behavior class I was in.
I'm still leaning more towards Green because of the way the tail looks and the coloration of the top of the head.
you were right to question yourself Eric. This is a Green sea turtle and not a Hawksbill :).
You're welcome! It's ok sometimes it can be a little difficult. Still a beautiful spotting and turtle!
