See the TURTLE of enormous girth!
On his shell he holds the earth.
His thought is slow but always kind;
He holds us all within his mind.

Wow, those sea turtles are beautiful! So healthy and bright :)

Soooo cute! Sea turtles are so beautiful and vibrant, they almost look fake. I really love the first picture, and the first baby picture.

I don't rememeber what kind of sea turtles they were, but I can tell you the adults are so huge some can weight a ton!!!

artbook -- swimming with the rays is special, they are so friendly, they like to be pet, they go around you, but even if they're big they don't touch you that much, unless they jump on you like they did to my father-in-law hehe! beside the boat trip to go there (we were 2 miles from the shore and the water is still 4 feet high), i'm seasick very easily, i'd say I was the first to dive in the water to get that seasickness of and it was wonderful to be there with the rays. My girlfriend even took one in her arms. Their skin feel like slimy mushroom to the touch, weird but not unpleasant.

How interesting.

I know some people are kind of afraid of rays... but... The funny thing is, and not to spoil it for anyone, but, more people are killed by WILD dolphins than rays. Usually what happens is, if a mother dolphin is frightened by a human, they'll attack to protect their offspring.

Granted, this is a controlled situation, so, these guys are used to people.
