A Day in the Life of a Momma Turtle

  1. Suppose your not having turtle soup for dinner? (just kidding) It's a pretty turtle, wonder if it is trying to lay eggs.

  2. If you look closely in the bottom photo, that is exactly what she is doing...laying an egg. She lay about 8 eggs and I kept trying to get a photo and finally got one. She the white egg coming out? Then she covered them up carefully, taking a very long time. Unfortunately, during the night, some predator dug them all up and ate them. It must be hard being a turtle!!

  3. What a shame that the eggs were stolen. And so soon too! I remember one seeing baby turtles hatch - when we were on holiday in Brazil. Baby turtles are SO cute!
