RE: Wild Wednesday's: Saving the sea turtles in Chania, Crete - Greece: Part 2

in #nature7 years ago

Amazing photos of an unforgettable experience. I never realized that albino turtles were so ubiquitous among loggerheads. It sounds like quite a few of the ones that didn't hatch were albino. The one in the photo almost looks like a baby bird.

Surprisingly, the albino condition amongst loggerhead and green sea turtles are not uncommon, but even a smaller percentage of these survive if they do hatch. Thanks for stopping by and engaging with us. :)

Awesome. Glad that the condition isn’t fatal for them.
