One of the things on the check list was to see the Leather Back turtle come on shore and lay her eggs. Well we waited and waited. It was dark and just a small slice of moon, vision was very limited. Our guide for the watch was standing next to me and he pointed. "Don't say anything, if you do everyone will come!" It wasn't long before a crowd had gathered and we kept our distance while mom went to work. They said that when she starts laying her eggs that she goes into a trance.....nothing will bother her. The photo was taken while she was in her trance.
