Leatherback Sea Turtles have been here for over 65 million years. They have witnessed the fall of the dinosaurs and the rise of humanity. Their habitat spans the globe from the North Atlantic near the Arctic Circle to the South Pacific around New Zealand:bunny: more here The Leatherback Trust @ leatherback.org

Sitting in Onno?s seeing them nailing some grating around the "cage".Keeps the dogs away anyway.
The last time I looked there was a huge space at the bottom of the enclosure where dogs could easily get in and dig. However, the nest looks to be undisturbed so far.
I am just wondering, if the recent cold weather and the rain have any influence on the development of the eggs. Nothing we can do about that, it's nature.
I would think that the rain might assist in that it would wash/drain any scent that mamma had left when laying the eggs. Can't say about turtle eggs, but with fowl eggs, lower temp leads to longer brood time--sometimes mal-development, but too hot is fatal.
Any turtle egg experts here?

It's almost time for the turtles to hatch.
Apparently there was a meeting in Cabarete last week concerning the turtles. Does anybody have any information of what the outcome was and if there will be a watch to make sure that they are safely getting into the ocean?

After 75+/- nights of Reggaeton from Onno's & Bambu... I suspect they'll do a little bump and grind on the way to the water, if they don't stop to order a Presidente first.
Very funny!! LOL
....but seriously, any more info? I am back in Canada now and I am very interested to see what happens, since I saw her lay the eggs.

That is just horrible!! that ****es me off!! I know in Hawaii, if you wake up a sleeping sea lion on the beach you get a $15,000 dollar fine!! you can not disturb the animals at all!
Sealions come on shore all the time for naps, at first you think OMG it's dead...but No...just sleeping!!
These turtles should not be touched what so ever!! it's not a freaking petting zoo!!
