I thought that I was done with the turtle photos, but I found them in another roll....
you must remember at that time we did not have digital camera
and we had to open a rnew roll of film!!!

Here is a view of the giant leatherback, but she is not alone,
look at all the human legs around her....
do you want to lay your eggs in private if you were her?

All the spectators including me
her eggs are deposited in a shallow sandy pit she dug herself
Heaving and puffing ... it was hard work!

.
A view of her posterior!



the turtle has gone back to sea...it is actually pitch black,
but the camera had a powerful flash!!
