@i.am.a.rising.phoenix: The experience of a lifetime… we were able to watch a nest of Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle Hatchlings make their way to the Gulf for the first time. Any females that survive will be back in about 15 years to nest on Padre Island - their chances are slim, but I said a prayer for them as they made it down to the gulf waves. Good luck little ones!! #padreislandnationalseashore #kempsridleyseaturtles #turtlehatchlings #turtlerelease #savetheturtles
