68 Little Turtles Hatch From Ramla L-Ħamra Nest
Environment
68 hatchlings emerged and found their way to the sea at Ramla l-Ħamra, which is the 3rd nest discovered on a local bay.
Wildlife Rescue Team Malta explained that during the previous 2 days movement was noticed underneath the sand.
‘However no one was expecting the hatching to occur on Day 46, on what was probably one of the most energy-filled nights atmospherically.’
Nest 3 was laid on the 13th of July, after the turtle had tried nesting a couple of nights before without success.’
The nest will continue to be monotirood for a few more nights in case any stragglers are yet to emerge.
