The turtle worker digs up the latest hatchlings from the mounds of sand. Each mound is labelled to identify the species of turtle egg and when the eggs are due to hatch.
Bit of an intese few moments for these little fellows, but it is apparently eco-tourism. We just scare the little fellows from ever coming back to land.
This is the tank where the babies are held until they are three days old, or Jaymon drops them (thankfully not).
This is the best tank to play at because the babies are too small to fight back - unlike some of the bigger ones, like Osama, who tries to remove any finger placed in front of him.
Cute little fellows. Well, the ones with the long tails are. The ones with short tails are cute little girls. Fun and we learnt stuff.
Baby Crush here will grow up to 2m long and weigh a few hundred kilos.
Plenty of photo opportunities here. Not sure who is more suprised!
Meet Osama: Finger Destroyer. He even tries to get out of his tank.
Not so keen once he is out though.
