Body Pitting and Digging Track

body pitting track 2.jpg

After building the body pit, the mother turtle starts digging the real nest (It has an average depth of 30/35 cm). Disturbing factors scare the turtle forcing her to return to the sea. On the return journey, even on the outward journey, you can see the footprints she left. This allows us to understand not only the size of the turtle but also the species.
