  • ↠ Want to know more wild facts? Check out our Wild to Know series: • Wild to Know
    The waters off the coast of Sri Lanka are home to a vast variety of marine life. One resident is the green turtle, an endangered species of sea turtle. Born on these shores, it migrates vast distances - but it always returns to the same beach. Green turtles begin their often long lives with a risky journey from beach to ocean. But just how do they manage to find their way home again, even from thousands of kilometers away? The answer might surprise you…

    Newly hatched turtles move towards the reflection of the moon on the sea, if there are bright lights near the beach they move towards those instead of the sea as they confuse the lights for the moon on the ocean.

  • @benfranco3801
    @benfranco3801 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Props to the team for waiting out the hatchlings. I've had the pleasure of watching sea turtles emerge from the sand. It takes them so much effort to get out of the sand so they stop and take little breaks. I was there for hours. Also, the lights from the cities and streets confuse the little turtles and causes them to head toward traffic instead of the ocean, another cause from human interference 💔

    "They somehow find their way to the water." I thought this wasn't a mystery. It's the light. They head towards where there is more light. That's why beach towns are supposed to turn their lights off at night.

    A piece must be missing ...
    Perhaps it is not only due to magnetism, since a lot of precision is needed to arrive at the same beach after 2 or 4 years in the ocean,
    taking into account that the magnetic pole moves about 50 - 60 kms per year

    "They know the intensity, slope and whatnot of the magnetic field"
    They just do? Magically? No specialize organ/tissue, no experiments done to prove it, no mention of who discovered it, of when it was discovered, just no explanation at all? Six full minutes of video for absolutely no information? Come on. At the VERY least cite your sources in the description. Seriously. Anyone can come up with a barebones explanation and slap it on top of footage without ever having to dig any deeper.
