Who is that digging in sea turtle nests!? Sea turtle eggs and hatchlings have many natural predators on the beach including foxes, raccoons, skunks, birds, and crabs! Don't worry though, no sea turtle eggs were harmed in this video! Each morning during nesting survey, our sea turtle conservation team is on the lookout for any predation activity from the night before.

Working with nesting turtles requires a lot of patience, we often have to wait for the turtle to finish digging her nest before starting the workup, to limit any disturbance to the nesting process. But after waiting so long, the turtle sometimes decides not to lay her eggs and simply leaves. Here is a short video showing what might make a spot unsuitable for nesting. Often, rubble in the sand is one reason; other times, there may be too many roots or the sand might be too soft. Turtles are very

Sand angel! When you’re a turtle but feeling a little angelic. Prior to digging their nest, which they do using their back flippers, turtles will use their front flippers as well to assess the sand conditions and determine if it’s suitable for digging. Hence, the “sand angel.” 🎥: @dillyseychelles for @saveourseasfoundation 🎵: Hammock from Rush #saveourseas #saveourseasfoundation #science #conservation #research #education #nature #marine #seaturtle | Save Our Seas Foundation Seychelles

This loggerhead sea turtle hatchling was discovered during a nest excavation at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in North Naples, Florida. Unfortunately, this sweet little baby was having a very difficult time crawling to the water. It looked like something was wrong with its front right flipper. So tiny and so innocent. Sometimes it’s hard to accept the ways of Mother Nature. Hopefully it will survive its long, perilous journey to adulthood. Ladies, try not to cry when you watch this video. A sea

Park Rangers were excavating a recently hatched loggerhead sea turtle nest at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park when they discovered this little hatchling. Standard procedure is to remove it from the nest chamber and let it crawl on its own to the water. This little baby did a really good job. This is an excerpt from the live feed of Robb‘s beach walk. You can watch the entire video on YouTube @ youtu.be/n7lEoZKSFCU?si=V9NEJBNIvwmF1nMa . Recorded Thursday, July 24, 2025. From May 1st through Octobe

Rare occurrence of a loggerhead sea turtle nesting during the day at Fort Fisher State Recreation Area, Kure Beach, NC. Video by Superintendent Jeff Owen. See our previous post for more information! Edit: Since we are getting a lot of questions in the comments, the turtle is fine and she is not stuck. She is using her back flippers to dig a hole for a nest. Once the hole is big enough, she will drop her eggs into the nest and return to the ocean. Park staff will then mark the nest and put a prot
