On the shores of Tortuguero in Costa Rica, one of life’s wonders happens for a few weeks every year: hatching baby sea turtles. These beauties are heavily protected in the area.

After emerging for the sand, the endangered green sea turtles make a dash for the safety of the Caribbean Sea… and it’s pretty cute.
