Can't remember who wrote it or even exactly how it goes but: Baby turtles were running for the water and sea gulls were having a feast.

+rick charles I have this exact phrase printed at the back of my 2005 pocket calendar. 10 years later i still have the calendar in my wallet. It reminds me to always make a difference in others.
lol you can take it seriously i love turtles and i have one he is an eastern box turtle and saving a babys life so it could live to make genarations is very nice of that person
His brothers and sisters probably mostly died in a bloody holocaust considering 99.9% of baby turtles fail to reach adulthood. The browning from the suntan might make him more delicious for predators though.
I love her so much cause she is a life saver cause she is not afraid to rescue any animals and its really great full of her to save those animals who need help 😊😊
thank u..seeing this made my heart smile..i SO have such a deep connection with turtles, in so many ways..one of my bucket list wishes is to see baby turtles make it to the sea, how inspiring & beautiful that wld be!..tho sum ppl may disagree with interrupting "Nature's ways", i feel u two came into eachother's lives for a divine reason..for this, u are a heroin!..i wish i had been there too..again, thank u ♡
Wow the turtle really like you guys the part when he came back. He could of thought u were its mother. It's really kind of you saving the baby turtle :)
My sister in law got a chance to go to Puerto Rico where she was helping a sea turtle rescue. She lived in a little beach house with four other girls and their job was t go out each night and mark the turtle nests as the mother laid their eggs. That year there was an incredible 4 laying in one month. Usually there is only one night when all the mothers come out of the water and lay their eggs. The beach was so busy with sea turtles they were diggin up other nests with eggs and climbing over each other. The first night they counted three hundred and twenty females. A week later more than five hundred showed up. The third laying well over a thousand turtles turned the beach into a war zone. The fourth laying she said was sad. This is when the old females and ones with missing flippers and deformed shells show up. I was green with envy they even had a very rare leather back show up and lay her eggs. It was huge. They stayed for four months protecting the eggs from animals and poachers. They had a beautiful lagoon to swim in and pretty much private beach as its a protected area. The would sneak down to the resort once in awhile blending in a guests and getting free drinks and enjoying the hot tubs. They also got to go and help out at the parrot rescue reptile rescue and sloth rescue centers. After about 8 weeks the babies would start hatching and they had to work hard chasing off the babies natural predators. The vultures and frigate birds were the worst. They were only allowed to chase the birds no stones or sticks. They also had to deal with monitor lizards and coatis. Lots of monkeys would dig up the nests as well. They caught lots of poachers but they were not allowed to intervene they had to call the police and report them then wait to see if th police would show up. They were lucky they had two new officers that knew about the sea turtles. They fell in love with the people who lived in the village that was close by and the villagers would bring them all kinds of food. They had two green iguanas that lived in the rafters of their house and lots of little geckos. They had a stray dog that adopted them and would bark if anyone was on the beach or came near their house. My sister in law fell so much in love with this little dog she pleaded with her mom and dad to let her adopt him. Well he has now been living in Ontario wth her for two years and never leaves her side. Looks like a pug and Boston terrie mix. They named him Ridley after the Ridleys sea turtles.
I had a similar experience, when I was at Mexico a very long time ago I was at a restaurant at the beach near our hotel and I just finished eating so I was walking around the beach while my parents and siblings were still eating. When I finished being bored I went to go back when I saw something flailing around near a lit up poster off to the side of the staircase. At first I thought it was some type of insect or my eyes were playing tricks on me, but it was a baby sea turtle going towards the sign in confusion. This was at night so the sea turtle, from what I've read, thought it was the moon. So I got my parents and told them about what I saw and they came and my brother picked up the little turtle and set him in the right direction =) it was a very nice thing to see.
They hatch in large groups and then follow the moon/sun. Sometimes a few get left behind or disoriented and follow the wrong light source. There is no law stating they cannot help the little guy, I did the same thing in Costa Rica (I knew several of the conservation officers) and they encourage the helping. The only thing a person has to be concerned with is that their hands have absolutely nothing on them (lotions, sunscreen etc) because the babies will absorb it through their thin porous skin and become poisoned. Also, you have to take them past the waves.
I was in Mexico during that time I just got back every morning I would go to the beach of my resort hoping for the eggs to hatch it never happened hopefully the baby turtles that were in there made it out
When sea turtles hatch they look for the brightest thing they can find (the sun) and they follow it. Usually they hatch just after sunrise so the sun is over he water, but since this little guy got stranded the sun had already moved in the sky and was no longer over the water, thus why he wasn’t going towards the water.
That's cute. Good for you for giving the little one a chance.I wonder why it kept going towards you, if perhaps in it's short life you were what it equated with feeling well.
Hey glitter girl. Hope you see this. When you ask a question, have your reply button enabled. The name of the music is at 4:05 "Oceans of Dreams" by Herb Ohta Jr.
It always makes me wonder why people think they're so great for interfering in nature all the time. The Turtles have a system, where the strongest little turtles survive to carry on the species - you can't take away the dignity of the little turtle's struggle. Also, it's development and life is timed so that a young turtle is acquiring the skills it needs to survive. Your coddling means that he is now less prepared for life.
If you were going to die and people around you could save you but don't cuz it will "not prepare you for life" I'm just putting it into different perspectives... saying the exact same thing as you are so no hate
I'm not trying to cause a fight or anything but I think it was very cute and nice that the people gave the little turtle a chance at life. See and feel the ocean around him then dying would have been better than burning in the hot sun and sand, having someone step on you or being eaten immediately. :)
amazing!!! I saved a crow ones stuck on a tree hanging from his neck chocking from a tree branch an a six-pack of beer plastic wrap the shit that holds the cans together, as I released him from the tree and the plastic wrap, he flew on a fence an stood there looking at me he start it to make that noise the crows make no Bullshit!!! is like if he said thanks and then he flew away!!! after that I found a 100 dollars that same day!!!!...it was like good luck in the end!!!
You make it look like you are heroes, when in reality you were like "Hey, look I found a turtle!" "Oh wow let me see!" Yeah then you took like 1000 photos of yourself with a sea turtle hatchling as if they're a fucking gold nugget.
So much hate. I'm just stating fact. The turtle probs didn't even need to be saved. I am telling you guys, this bitch doesnt know what the fuck shes talking about. Its like 99% of girls her age.

aww that's awesome :)
"And then the Sea gulls starved to death because some hobo had to interfere with nature, the end"
+rick charles great story :)
You saved a cute baby turtles life how nice of you made me cry a little i very much hope he will survive to be a young healthy adult sea turtle
I'm srry but that meaningful touching comment I just can't take seriously because of the troll face
lol you can take it seriously i love turtles and i have one he is an eastern box turtle and saving a babys life so it could live to make genarations is very nice of that person
+Leland Godfrey he meant it seriously.
me i have a box turtle and i love turtle my favorite animals
The turtle came back because he wanted to thank you
It probably wanted to stay with them lol and I cri every time ;-;
He/She probably thought she was his/her mom
+Lpspinkyflower Dots LOL :)
2:21 "Don't come towards me, go towards the ocean." Oh my goodness I died, that was so sweet
The little guy was getting a suntan before showing off those epic tan lines to his brothers and sisters.
Best comment so far
Not cool man
His brothers and sisters probably mostly died in a bloody holocaust considering 99.9% of baby turtles fail to reach adulthood. The browning from the suntan might make him more delicious for predators though.
Not cool
i love that
I love her so much cause she is a life saver cause she is not afraid to rescue any animals and its really great full of her to save those animals who need help 😊😊
"No, not me. Go towards the ocean."
Me: *[HYSTERICAL CRYING ENSUES]*
KIND PEOPLE ARE REWARDED. YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. EVEN IF HE DIED, HE DIED WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO.
This person did the right thing. I am pretty sure if they had taken it to the marine life rescue they would say they should have let him go.
thank u..seeing this made my heart smile..i SO have such a deep connection with turtles, in so many ways..one of my bucket list wishes is to see baby turtles make it to the sea, how inspiring & beautiful that wld be!..tho sum ppl may disagree with interrupting "Nature's ways", i feel u two came into eachother's lives for a divine reason..for this, u are a heroin!..i wish i had been there too..again, thank u ♡

@@habajuza heroin
I love it when people save animals' lives!! Those are the people that want to make the world better!
saving it wasnt their first thought, they just realized they could get alot of attention of they made themselfves look like heroes.
+David Lowe I think you're jealous but if you say so:) Please sub to my channel
I would've walked way out there where there's barely any waves and placed the turtle in the gentle water.
I think you guys did a great thing, that poor little guy looked so cute :) I'm sure he/she is very grateful to you both.
Thanks you!
Andrea Geoffrey-White
That person wasn't talking to you
Jocelyn Solis i think that person was because the name who posted this video is andreargw andrea.geoffrey.white
Thank you both for helping this beautiful turtle!

Your are the best because you helped a turtle
u guys are soo caring
zombie Johnathan: I like turtles

Turtles mind:thank u for helping I won't forget this wen I take over the world
Yes, I will slowly take over by going extinct
When i was little baby sea turtles were hatching at the beach so I paved a long path in the sand for them to the water :3
That's so sad it made me cry😢😭
Aren't you a deranged maniac who's trying to take over the world, and you really hate the Pines' family.
+Santa Paws maybe
MAYBE? Or maybe it was really really really really really (20,000,000 reallys later) sad.
So cute!☺️
Do they realize that when it goes into the ocean it's going to have to avoid thousands of predators?
It's where they belong.
That's cute. Good for you for giving the little one a chance.I wonder why it kept going towards you, if perhaps in it's short life you were what it equated with feeling well.
The turtles are so cute
that was so nice how you help a baby turtle to his home
Cute little turtle :3
You guys are heros
why 112 hates you deserve 0 hates for your heroship in saving animals
I use 112 aswell :o
+Happiness 112 126
That was such a nice thing to do I really hope that turtle didn't die :(
I remember that these turtles need to take this passage into the sea themselves. Those who couldn't do it are unlikely to survive.
So cute!
This reminds me of the saved kitten from a drain pipe
Aww good job u guys are awsome adorable
You made me cry
Well done ladies ,the drinks are on me.
aawwww thx for saving him!
The turtle is so small!

people shouldn't interfere when your mom was pregnant.
i mean it wouldn't prepare you for life
so adorable
you touched it, now it's mother is going to reject it
***** m8 u no h0w 2 t@k3 a j0k3 leik ur l1f3?
turtles don't stay with there mom there mom leaves all of her baby's once she lays the eggs
+Lillbubby don't be mean about it we all make mistakes
😂
+Trek Sand I want to throw a dictionary at your face...
Of course I would have been tempted to keep him
Saving turtle is a hobby
You didn't save it, it wasn't even in danger
You are my hero!!
Yeah! all the people doing research on cancer or stopping terrorists, these two are real heroes!
it is so adorable
Looks like a great holiday..
Wow great video
thats cute!
that is a cute turdle
I love mexico
if he came back i would have had a new pet
nice, love this video, thanks for share
I was crying
So cute
The reason he's going the wrong direction is because u were blocking the sun light and the turtles follow the sunlight to get to the ocean
Awwwww so cute
Cool good job 😉😆👏♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥
amazing good deed. God bless you
So sweet
Thank you so much, many people are killing turtles nowadays.
Yemaya and Vellamo bless you!
