EDITORS COMMENTS
Every summer, the green turtle ladies come back to their favorite beach for a 'shell-abration' like no other! These incredible females, known as Chelonia mydas in the scientific world, make an epic journey back to their natal beach just to lay eggs. Talk about dedication! But it's not all smooth swimming for these amazing creatures. With human activities putting pressure on sea turtle species worldwide, they face numerous threats. That's why we need to protect and cherish them even more. This stunning photo was taken at Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, Queensland, Australia - a true paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. The beautiful green turtle is captured up close and personal during her magical night-time ritual of laying eggs. Look at that adorable face! Those big eyes seem to be saying 'Hey humans, let's work together to save our oceans!' Let this image serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural wonders and protecting endangered species like these magnificent turtles. So next time you visit a beach or dive into the crystal-clear waters of Australia's coastline, keep an eye out for these graceful reptiles. And remember: every small action counts when it comes to safeguarding our precious marine life.
