Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), Gulf Islands National Seashore, 2015.

The end of summer means sea turtle hatchlings will be crawling out of their nests 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.
