DA is a special place. with an amazing culture. too bad these days we have so many ignorant negative people on the island.
Hope she does not try and put the turtle into the back of her SUV like that man did with that baby bison in Wyoming. Because they thought it was cold.
Cant u see that the size of this turtle is about 4 time the size of the woman?
so adorable
Why is she squatting there right in the turtle’s grill? Nesting turtles need to be left alone, undisturbed, so they can do their business in peace.
By the weekend you will be reading a few fools go after the turtles for their meat.only in this curse country.
You spit in the air and it falls right back on your face. You curse my country, you curse me. Your curses have been returned to you twentyfold. You be cursed.
Based on all of the tracks behind her I’d assume she’d already laid her eggs and was returning to the ocean. They are a beautiful sight, though. I was saw a huge one at Laplaine.
Boy that freaking big, you sure is Dominica that there?
