Green sea turtles are reptiles whose ancestors evolved on land and took to the sea to live about 150 million years ago. They are one of the few species so ancient that they watched the dinosaurs evolve and become extinct. (from National Geographic).

This little creature is about 3 sm in length and is the tiniest turtle that I ever seen. Lekz's daugther, Sasha, found this turtle near the lake during our corporative meeting.
Fin-five from this loggerhead sea turtle in Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary! Loggerheads get their name from their relatively large heads, which support powerful jaws and enable them to feed on hard-shelled prey. From hatching to adulthood, a loggerhead increases its weight more than 6,000 times! Marine debris, fishing gear, and development near their nesting areas remain major issues for loggerheads, but by working together we can help reduce these threats.

I couldn't believe it at first, but as the week progressed i got used to looking down into the water just outside our bungalow and seeing awesome creatures - sea turtles (two lived in the area regularly), cuttlefish, barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, bamboo shark, blue-spotted fantail stingrays, a huge eagle ray, not too mention the various strata of fish schools, with the smallest fish congregating right by the beach in a foot of water, to the slightly bigger bait fish the circled endlessly in the hundreds under our bungalows, to the bigger preadtor fish (mostly small trevally) that hung out under the boat dock at the end ofthe jetty in about 15 feet of water.
