Sea Turtles

[jeffashman]

One of the critters that the Cayman Islands are know for are the sea turtles, so much so that the mascot of Cayman Airways is Sir Turtle. We didn't get to see any on the beaches, but we got to see them at the sea turtle farm, which is a rescue and breeding facility. These creatures are so graceful and majestic as they glide through the water.

#2 and #4 are Hawksbill sea turtles. Yes, the patterns are really nice, in person they almost look painted on.

Thank you! We had an opportunity to swim with them but arrived too late in the day at the center. Maybe next time.
