Leatherback Turtle Makes Rare Nesting Return | Virginia Beach News
Description
A massive leatherback turtle—up to 2,000 pounds and 6 feet long—just nested on an Outer Banks beach for the first time since 2009, marking a rare and exciting moment for marine conservation. These oceanic giants, capable of diving to 4,000 feet and swimming thousands of miles, are making surprising comebacks, with another historic nesting just days earlier in Virginia. Two big events in close proximity? A hopeful sign that these ancient sea turtles are still finding ways to thrive.
