when it comes to the turtles, home is where the (magnetic) heart is!! 😇

Turtle Diaries Submission #8

Meet Shelah, she is a veteran seafarer, her shell is a monument for all the journeys she did across the vast blue ocean. looks like she found her home here. just like the famous turtle saying "home is where the (magnetic) heart is" .

INTERESTING FACT: After hatching on beaches around the world, these marine reptiles undertake multiyear, epic migrations at sea. Then, the turtles return to the exact spot where they were born to mate and lay their own eggs.

HOW DO THEY DO THAT?

Turtles navigate at sea by sensing the invisible lines of the magnetic field, similar to how sailors use latitude and longitude. each part of the coastline has its own magnetic signature, which the animals remember and later use as an internal compass.

This is another hawksbill turtle submitted by marine biologist Nishan Perera , one of our friends at Blue Resources Trust . Shelah is a resident in Pigeon Island National Park - Trincomalee.

Pigeon Island is a home to many hawksbills. If you happen to have any pictures like this, We'd be delighted to have them!

Hello amazing people :)

We've been working on a turtle database and I would like to request your support to get more submissions for it.

Did you know that each side profile of the face of a turtle is unique and can be used like fingerprints to ID them?

So if you have any closeups of the turtles you've been lucky to see in Sri Lankan waters, Let me know!

What kinds of photos i'm expecting? The Side profile of the face!
For reference, see the picture.

The most important part of the photograph is a direct side profile of the face. . We prioritize the cheek area of the face because unlike the fins, shell, or tail, the scales on their face are not likely to change throughout the turtle’s lifetime and the cheek offers an easy, flat surface to photograph.

Along with the photograph, Please sent the following info as well :) If you don't recall some of the info below, Doesn't matter. I'm still grateful for the help! Oh btw you can name your turtle if it is happened to be a new entry ;)

⦁ location.
⦁ date.
⦁ time.

Your submission will help to create an islandwide database to monitor the turtle migrations and other relevant info for researchers. Feel free to reach out if you are curious! Thank you for reading the long post :)
