Watch: A turtle tsunami in Brazil
IANS
Manaus (Brazil): Call it a turtle tsunami! The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) has released an amazing video showing tens of thousands of Giant South American River turtle hatchlings (Podocnemis expansa) emerging from a sandy beach in a protected area along the Purus River — a tributary of the Amazon River in Brazil.
Good news: On Dec. 1, another 8,000 giant South American river turtles hatched in Brazil's Abufari Biological Reserve.
This is the third mass hatching of the season. You may recall, we reported on 90,000+ hatchings during the previous two events. https://t.co/UqwjiERAdzpic.twitter.com/EpanMEd8FR
