      ReyDeHielo wonder why they don’t get volunteers to shuttle them back to the water after they’re done?

      @@lyndacarter5090 I guess that would be a good idea
      but I guess that would be intervening with the nature these turtles are and may cause them stress

      ReyDeHielo maybe not as stressful as getting pecked to death by birds? Not being sarcastic. You exchange one stressor for another with every decision, it seems?

      They dig their way out fast enough to be able to breathe again when they get out of the sand. So they also have to hold their breath.
