Releasing baby turtles into the Pacific Ocean in Mexico

It was one kind of experience to participate in at  “El Tortugario” Ecological Center in Cuyutlan, Mexico.
It is called “hatchling”, and a lot of one-day-old baby turtles were released into the Pacific Ocean from the nursery. This is an event that attracts locals and tourists every year. People simply come to assist these little creatures with their first contact with the water. Lucky us to be there at the right time, without even knowing about it 🙂

Releasing the baby turtles into the ocean

For me it was very impressive, because they were so small and beautiful, but at the same time so fragile…
I held them in my hands and put them slowly on the beach… Some went in the direction of the water, but some didn’t know what to do, so we gently directed them 🙂

We watched the little turtles going on their first and decisive life adventure. It was not easy… Every single obstacle was a challenge for them, starting with the irregularities of the sand and the foot prints, to the actual contact with the cold water. Some even didn’t have the courage to take the plunge, and they were coming back 🙂 – Well, what to expect from one-day-old baby turtles that hadn’t even seen water before?

Art Prints and Gift Ideas

I decided to make a collage with all those instances in the process of releasing baby turtles. I thought it could be more comprehensive. The image is available as art print and I think it can be a great decor for your children room , along with other prints of animals.  Just click on it to see the printing options. You will also find it as canvas, print, metal print or acrylic print in several sizes, depending on your needs.
