Turtle-Watching. (16/7/2011) =)

 

At first said 9pm, but it was about 9.33pm when we finally departed. Kemaman timing. Always late! =D LOL.

So remember always be at least 15 minutes late! XDDD

 

Reached Pantai Teluk Mak Nik. It was pitch-dark. The moon hid behind the clouds and no stars were in sight.

We were brought to the very far end of the beach. There were already several other groups ppl awaiting. We waited around half an hour something and finally the turtle’s here! =DDD

 

The picture below maybe a bit disturbing, but uhm.. yea.. it’s the turtle laying eggs. =DDD

I was a bit scared coz the turtle got angry with all the commotion around it. It flipped its flippers and threw sand at us. XD

Finally it stopped and I quickly squatted down to take a pic with this high-and-mighty turtle! =D

The turtle left soon after, flipped all its way down the beach and into the sea. Good bye turtle!! =)))

 

We checked out the eggs afterwards.. Looked like ping pong balls!
