Hand Carved Granite Turtle available @ Time’s Tin Cup !
Turtles are amazing! They all are ancient reptiles. I love all the turtles. But the most amazing are sea turtles. Their streamlined shells and large paddle-shaped flippers make them very agile and graceful swimmers.
Sea turtles come to the same shores their species and ancestors come to every year to lay up to a 100 eggs. They will dig a hole on the beach with their back flippers and lay their clutch. Then bury the whole up to protect their eggs and return to the the sea.
Disney’s scientists from Animal Kingdom have an entire an entire team that partnered with Florida’s Fish and Wildlife to monitor and protect sea turtles. Guests that book the Turtle Tours by Disney enjoy a presentation as well as witness the wonders of nature unfold.
Captain Ron leads the way with Disney to identify sea turtle nests. Disney’s Vero Beach is one of the nesting grounds. Thousands of female sea turtles emerge from the ocean to lay their eggs. Vero Beach has been one of their nesting habitats since the time of the dinosaurs. Two months after their nests have been built, the eggs hatch and scores of tiny turtles emerge from the sand at night. Tours are available to be booked. Captain Ron is the beagle with the sea turtle.
