A group of boaters fishing off the coast of Jalisco, Mexico, recently freed a sea turtle that had become entangled in discarded fishing nets. Fishing gear is one of the greatest threats to sea turtles.

Did you know that green sea turtles are the only species who comes on shore regularly to bask? 🐢 Basking only occurs in Hawaii, particularly the Northwestern Hawaiian Island chain, the Galapagos Islands, and in some areas of Australia.

ALT A shark talks to a sea otter and says: uh, here comes Dave. The otter finishes the sentence with he's a hugger. A huge octopus envelopes them both in its tentacles and says: HEY GUYS!
