I was strolling (trying to jog) down the beach yesterday, and came across the remains of a sea turtle. It looked as though it had been hit by a shark a long time ago. There was a nice crescent-shaped bite, and the area from its left armpit to above its right rear fin was missing. The shell was totally trashed, and the meat was mostly gone. What remained was its perfect skull, which was bigger than both of my fists! I know you are suppose to call the authorities when you encounter something like this in Florida, but I didn't have my cell phone with me. It was still pretty early in the morning, around 7:15am, and by the time I returned (about 15mins) someone had removed the skull! I hope the authorities catch up to that person, being a protected animal and all. Pupule Tiki! [ Edited by: TikiMango 2009-08-23 20:44 ] |
