Huge Sea Turtle Spotted On Florida Beach
This turtle is HUGE! How did it even get here?
A large leatherback sea turtle was spotted nesting on a South Florida beach in the middle of the day.
According to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, this is very rare to see this happen. Leatherback turtles typically range in size from 4 to 8 feet. The largest leatherback ever recorded was almost 10 feet, according to ConserveTurtles.org. I think this will probably beat that record. It’s pretty massive.
