Baby turtles went back the sea




hello, everyone. i am Natsumi in edc 1.
have you ever seen baby turtles??

i went to Nakatazima sand hill to see baby turtles with my frends.

it was my first time to see and toutch turtles and they were small and light more than i expected. they were powerful and moved their legs at all times.


Baby turtles must walk the sand beach to remember Nakadazima sand hill before they go back the sea. i think it is miracle that turtles remember where they born and they returen the place to lay eggs. walking the sand beach is necessary thing for this miracle.

i got a little impressed by the view that baby turtles walk on beach. they all walked to the sea, no baby turtles got lost.(speaking honestly two baby turtles got lost.... )


Nakatazima sand hill is famous for a turtle laying spot.
august and september are the time that baby turtles are born and go back to the sea.

a NPO which protect turtles and Nakatazima sand hill enviroment hold turtle's discharge event

every year. so if you have some interest in baby turtle, let's join the event!! you will get nice time.

Hi Natsumi,

Last weekend my wife and I went to the beach to release the baby turtles too. They are such cute and amazing little animals. Now do you know why I like turtles so much?
