Two-headed marine turtle alive in Costa Rica

Uploaded by: carlosdrews
Video Description:
A newborn, two-headed Olive Ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) hatched from a natural nest in Ostional Beach in Costa Rica in November 2005. The turtle was kept for a few days under observation and was then released in good health into the Pacific ocean. The prospects of survival are unknown - if she is a female and survives the hazards of a life at sea with natural predators and indiscriminate nets and hooks, she may return to Ostional to nest in some 15 to 20 years. WWF, the global conservation organization, filmed this unusual creature and released the news to the media.

That cigarette butt ... ( 1 year ago by rakkar01)

That cigarette butt doesn't help things. The last I had checked, it's made by humans and it was a stupid human that left it there on the ground. Poor turtles eat the cigarette butts and eventually die from ingesting them and not being able to pass them through their digestive system.

What I love most ... ( 1 year ago by McIFamilyVideos)

What I love most about this video is the cigarette butt the turtle is sitting on. In Hawaii the leading cause of death in Green sea turtles is Cigarette butts LEADING cause. One would think people who love hawaii so much they spend savings to visit, might just respect the place more.. NNaaahhh.. Smokers have little respect for anybody. Its part of the habbit of smokeing. Being a carless scumbag;)
