Native people in some country (?)digging up these nests and bagging the eggs by the hundreds. All over this beach. It really made me sick. The email was to bring this to the attention of people but no info on how to fix. Awful!<br /><br />What a great adventure for you. I am sorry that the people were so creepy to you. That is a shame. But it sounds like they do great work. <br /><br />And the size of that turtle. Wow! Amazing and sure wish I could have seen it too.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-61157714225851456202011-08-25T22:36:05.166-07:002011-08-25T22:36:05.166-07:00I will say I became extremely excited spotting the...I will say I became extremely excited spotting the wildlife and the trip flew by quickly. From what I understand, I believe several scientists have used a heating lamp to create certain nest environs to control gender outcomes but out in the wild, the researchers just monitor the egg nests and count the turtles. They'll map out the area and keep a tab on it making sure dogs don't dig up the nests or poachers dig them up. You Turtle Island sounds really interesting. Have you ever gone to visit it?Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-78386191614306079662011-08-25T21:54:55.254-07:002011-08-25T21:54:55.254-07:00Whew, everything so exciting!

So researchers can induce femaleness by putting some heat source above the nest, have they done it? We also have a Turtle Island here in the country, but very far from the populated area, and i have a friend who made her thesis there. Yes eggs are also eaten by some people, i also saw one brought here by that friend.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-23160539490064719762011-08-25T12:41:15.849-07:002011-08-25T12:41:15.849-07:00This is simply amazing to me, especially that turt...This is simply amazing to me, especially that turtle! Not that all the beach obstacles of debris or emerging crabs sensing motion are not amazing. If either coast of the US is a different world to me, Panama looks like a different solar system!!Desert Dweller / David C.http://desertedge.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
