Baby Turtle Crawing to the Sea

Today is March 14 2024. In the norther coast of Tambrauw regency, especially in West Papua, the waves are getting weaker. Soon the sea will be calmer and the nesting season for turtle is coming. In the next six months, the beach will be visited by mother turtles that will lay eggs. There are green turtles, olive ridley, hawksbill and leatherback turtles. They come from all corners of the Pacific Ocean.

A few years ago, I made a sketch of a baby leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)

that was crawling to the beach. I also created the digital art illustration of the turtle.

Now it is available in my Redbubble Shop. I hope that there will be somebody out there who are interested in buying products with prints of this baby turtle illustration.
