Happy New Year
What do New Year's parades have in common with Santa Claus? No one is ever awake to see them.
What is a New Year's resolution? Something that goes in one year and out the other.
What do cows say on Jan. 1? "Happy Moo New Year!"
Leatherbacks
Leatherbacks are the largerest sea turtles in the world. They weight in up to as much as 1,500 pounds, They are listed as a vunable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
Volunteers watch for the leatherbacks to come out of the sea and cross the sandy beach.The turtle digs a hole and lays eggs in the hole and covers the hole and eggs with sand. The people observing with red turtle safe lights dig the eggs out and carry them in bags to a holding enclosure where predators can't get to the eggs before they hatch. Between February and June hundreds of female leatherbacks come to beaches in the western Atlantic and each one lays an average of 130 eggs.
The government of Columbia and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to arrange for setting beaches aside for leatherback breeding areas.
