Leatherback Turtles Paragraph
We were in a car on our way to the beach, because leatherback turtles were found and are expected to have eaten plastic and have it stuck around their body. Leatherback turtles are one of the biggest form of sea turtles. They can grow up to 2.4 meters long.
I asked,“does any of you know how big these are.”
We were with 3 of us in the car. Even though it was more like a bus to fit the turtles in. The others in the ‘car’ are called James and Faith. I am the youngest of the three. I am 17 years old. James is 22 and Faith is 20. We all met each other at the turtle centre. James owned the place but since we are only with 3 he has to come help us out. Usually about 50 people want to join this group. We don’t get paid either. It is volentairally work. …show more content…
Then we walked towards o we all went on our ways to the turtles.
When we were there I asked, “should we straight away bring them to the car or first see if we can set them free.” Faith said,”I’ll first chech if they are okay and if they didn’t eat plastic, but to do so we will have to take them with us so just try to lift them up one by one. We’ll use the mats to let them lay ontop of.”
James said, “that’s not a good idea, they are to heavy to lift with the three of us, we should go and ask people on the sore to help them lift them up. We’ll need at least 1 or 2 more people to help to lift them up Dude.”
We managed to find people to help us lift them up and bring them to the car. We straight away went back to the rescue centre. We walked in and the first thing you see is a reception. People could come into the building and adopt a sea turtle. This meant they choose the names and they get to release the turtles. We went back and we managed to get the people behind the reseption who only work 2 days in the week to help us lift them to the centre where we kept them. We all seperated them and we took of all the plastic of their body. Then one by one we scanned them and we realised that one of them. The one I took care of had buoyance disorder which mean that the turtle has eaten something that makes him float to the top of the water when swimming which is dangerous because they can get hit by boates and fishing nets easier. Faith called a specialised …show more content…
It went really fast with Buddy and Cora. They also grew a lot. The famillies who adopted them came and got to release them. The turtles straight away jumped in the water and swam away. I spend a lot of time after teaching Eco how to take care of himself in the wild. For some reason he also liked to swim after objects I threw in the water and bring it back. Just like dogs with sticks. Another month later Eco was getting released. I petted him on his right fin and on his head. Ussually turtles would trie to bite but Eco didn’t we went onto the same boat as for Buddy and Cora. On our way where we wanted to release them there was quite a lot of thrash so we first tried to get all the thrash which was mainly plastic out of the water. We also found a sick bird which are also animals we taeke care of. Mainly sea turtles and birds and rarelly we also get seals. Then I released him. Eco first swam after the boat which showed what a connection. I got with the turtle.
I said, “hey James, you think it would be a good idea to first go around the area try to clean as much plastic out of the water as possible.”
James nodded. Then he
