Green Sea Turtle
Chelonia midas
22.4244, 59.8306
Field Notes
Description:
Green Turtle hatchlings emerging too close to dawn.
Habitat:
Beach, above mean high tide mark.
Notes:
About 100 hatchlings made it out of the nest, to face many patrolling gulls and ghost crabs. Only 4 made it to the water, and all of these were picked off by gulls. Natural selection against late hatching?
