Part 3: A leatherback sea turtle makes her way back to sea in Trinidad after laying a nest. These ancient mariners, have existed for over 100 million years, and their nesting behavior is a deeply ingrained part of their life cycle. This behavior highlights the evolutionary success of sea turtles and their adaptation to both marine and terrestrial environments.

Did you know? The leatherback sea turtle is the largest turtle in the world. They are the only species of sea turtle that lack scales and a hard shell. They are named for their tough rubbery skin and have existed in their current form since the age of the dinosaurs. Leatherbacks are highly migratory, some swimming over 10,000 miles a year between nesting and foraging grounds. They are also accomplished divers with the deepest recorded dive reaching nearly 4,000 feet—deeper than most marine mamma

Another rare sighting! We had a leatherback sea turtle swim up to us the other day. They are critically endangered and massive in size. This one was easily 6 feet in length. It would not get very close and disappeared right after this video. Phone cameras never do size justice. This thing was huge! What a cool experience and amazing moment to witness. Getting to see these endangered animals in their natural habitat is so special to me. They may never been seen again, especially by my eyes. Just

It’s Leatherback Day of #SeaTurtleWeek 🌊🐢 Flashback to December last year when we rescued, rehabbed, and released “Mojo” a 500 pound leatherback in just 6 days!

He was estimated to be around 30-35 years old. Once he arrived at The Turtle Hospital, he received fluids, a long-acting, broad-spectrum antibiotic, vitamins, and an
