Early this month, Sea World San Diego announced the hatching of 82 Baby Sea Turtles on the park's Shipwreck Beach. The hatchlings, born without human aid or incubation, are developing well and park officials are pleased with the progress. The babies eat a varied diet of squid, krill, shrimp, and special pellets. Adult Sea Turtles live to be well over 100 years old!

83 babies in one update? That has to be a new record.

In the wild most of these batch wouldn't survive, which is GOOD because:
1. The animals who feed on them deserve to eat, too, and have evolved to rely on baby turtles as a food option
2. The surviving turtles are the fittest to continue the turtle-kind.
Not only did we humans bring these turtles into the danger of extinction, now we're making sure the world will have too many turtles, of the wrong quality and in the wrong time.
Way to go, Sea World.
