One of the most fun parts of the Costa Rica trip was to get crafty for a kids’ day that the WIDECAST team was putting on for the local children to help teach them about the life of a sea turtle.

Our job was to create costumes of predators that a juvenile sea turtle has to face after they have hatched and are making their way to sea. Baby sea turtles have all types of predators, from domestic dogs, crabs, frigate birds, and so much more.

The two predators that I chose to create were a crab and a shark, and I also tried them on for myself and being the big guy I am, it was entertaining for sure! Everyone’s creations turned out great and this was so much fun!

I really hope that these children enjoyed the kids’ day and learned a lot about sea turtles. And also I hope that the WIDECAST team enjoyed chasing the kids in the costumes.
