Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), Cape Lookout National Seashore, 2015.

The end of summer means lots of sea turtle hatchlings will be crawling out of their nests on Cape Lookout NS and making their way home to the ocean. This tiny loggerhead hatchling may grow to an amazing 250 pounds by adulthood. These amazing animals even have the ability to hold their breath underwater for up to 7-hours while sleeping.
