Isle of Palms, United States of America. 23 July, 2023. A endangered loggerhead sea turtle hatchling, crawls across the beach leaving tiny tracks as it makes it to the Atlantic Ocean at dawn, July 23, 2023 in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. The sex of sea turtles is determined by the temperature at hatching and the extremely hot weather predicts mostly female turtles are being born along the coast.
