MY TAKE – JAMILLA ASWETO (14)
I absolutely loved the Watamu turtles episode of Wildlife
Warriors.
It was interesting to know that the Local Ocean Trust where
Fikiri Kiponda works was started when the local residents
decided to take action to save the sea turtles that were
under threat.
Watching how Fikiri carried out the turtle rescue and the
baby green turtle recovering at the turtle hospital
fascinated me.
The one thing I would have liked to know is, what happened
to the green turtle they found with tumors in its eyes?

How long can turtles hold their breath in water?
Answer
Turtles usually breathe every 12 minutes, but recent
research shows that in cold months turtles can stay
underwater without breathing for up to 8 hours!!! You can
watch the amazing TED talk by Professor Godley HERE👈.
