Okay, this has to be one of the most amazing photos I have seen in a super long time. This big girl weighs more than the 5 grown men behind her. She laid 12 nests in one season before beginning her migration through the Pacific.
She is a leatherback turtle, which is a variety that has a leathery tough skin where other turtles would have a hard shell.
Unfortunately, these leatherbacks are threatened and some people are stepping up to protect them.
She is amazing!
