Cancun, Mexico
As I went for my morning walk I noticed a fenced off area, so I went over to see what was on the other side. There I saw these little guys, baby Sea Turtles!
In the morning they collect the turtle eggs from the beach and then they put them back into the sand within the fence. They place a sign on top of the mound of sand with the date they were found. After 2 months they dig them up and then at night they put them back into the sea. One of the great predators of Sea Turtles are Seagulls, who eat the baby Sea Turtles as they go to the sea. I saw a number of fenced off areas as I walked along the beach, I think this is awesome!
