Deformed juvenile hawksbill turtle making its way into the water. A Hawksbill turtle’s nesting season mostly occurs between April and November each year with each nest containing an average of 130- 160 eggs. After about two months of incubation, the eggs watch and the hatchlings then make their way into the nearby water. Some drown shortly after due to their deformed back legs. Laughing bird Caye, Belize.
