Little turtle

we saved this turtle yesterday. yeah it's a turtle. not just a turtle but a softshell turtle, a fresh water turtle.

guess where we found it? IN THE SEA! poor poor turtle.

we were playing frisbee on the beach when my brother threw the frisbee into the sea. as we retrieved it from the waves, we saw this poor thing crawl out of the water and onto the beach with it's last ounce of strength. once it got out of the reach of the waves, it stopped moving, probably to rest. not only was it ehuasted from fighting the waves and current in the sea, dehydrated due to the high salinity of the salt water it was also covered on blood. something must have tried to eat it or something, probably a bigger fish. we just stood there and watched it, so shocked to see it on the beach, half dead.

someone must have released it into the sea, without thinking. otherwise how would it have gotten there?

it was a soft shell turtle, the kind we eat and i think the person who released it must have bought it from a seafood restaurant and tried to release it to 'save' it from being cooked. though it came from a good intention, but there's no point trying to 'save' the turtle if you just throw it into the sea, where it isn't supposed to be, where it will die anyway. sigh some people just don't know.

anyway we carried it to the pond near the resort and put him there. haha. he was so happy to be back into fresh water that he started to swim around immediately, so happily. the picture is of him in the pond.

yeah. one animal saved.

the rest of the beach was nice.
