Golfina Turtles, also known as Olive Ridley turtles are endangered and listed on the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna. Whew! It’s a good thing the turtles don’t have to know the name of that organization from memory to survive.



Salvadorans released 1,500 of the little critters that had been born into capitivity into the sea on October 10th.

“Swim, little buddy, swim!”

“Uh, where should I go?”

“You’re free, you’re free!”

“Um, when’s dinner?”

I don’t know about rearing animals in captivity then setting them free. I don’t think that always works right, does it?

What do you think are the chances for the little fellows?
