Leatherback visits Oregon during migration
This leatherback was tracked from Indonesia, to Oregon, to Hawaii. Sounds more like the trip of a backpack-toting college student than an enormous reptile.
It is hoped that the information gathered in this study will help garner international cooperation in the protection of these awesome animals.
Enjoy the studliness of wildlife,
Bp
