The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
Early this month, Sea World San Diego announced the hatching of 82 Baby Sea Turtles on the park's Shipwreck Beach. The hatchlings, born without human aid or incubation, are developing well and park officials are pleased with the progress. The babies eat a varied diet of squid, krill, shrimp, and special pellets. Adult Sea Turtles live to be well over 100 years old!
i love animals and i love what you are doing is a great thing, keep up the good work,
It’s official. I have just died of cute.
Oh my word. Adorable. What will they do with all of them?
83 babies in one update? That has to be a new record.
In the wild most of these batch wouldn’t survive, which is GOOD because:
1. The animals who feed on them deserve to eat, too, and have evolved to rely on baby turtles as a food option
2. The surviving turtles are the fittest to continue the turtle-kind.
Not only did we humans bring these turtles into the danger of extinction, now we’re making sure the world will have too many turtles, of the wrong quality and in the wrong time.
Way to go, Sea World.
I love sea turtles. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Are These Salt water babies ?
and what will these babies eat i rescued 2 babies here in pakistan the eagles were attacking them i bought them to my home but dont know what to feed them
Sea Turtles live only in the salt water environments. Hatchlings feed on tiny crustaceans, mollusks, seaweed, and fish eggs. It would be difficult for you to keep them at home. It is common for hatchlings to be eaten by predators as they move from their nests to the water. We suggest returning to the beach where you rescued the turtles and releasing them back into the ocean.
