Today was our second day with the turtles.
We went to a beach called Sloth Beach and as you can imagine, there were three-toed sloths! There was actually one in the tree right above where we were standing but we just hadn’t noticed. We all tried to get pictures of him but it was hard with his head buried away.

We explored the beach a little while we were there and came across a couple of coconuts. A couple of us got them open so everyone could try them. The coconut was not as sweet as I had anticipated, but still good!

Today while at the beach we caught four more sea turtles.
One of them was so large that she had to be dragged in from the nets and carried on to shore by EIGHT people. She was huge! We caught three greens today and a hawksbill. The hawksbill was taken to the turtle hospital and placed in fresh water for 24 hours. This was to help get rid of a parasite that can live on them and be fatal. The hawksbill was a feisty one but I was able to get the tissue sample from her! It was such a cool experience!
