baby turtles emerging video

Here are the clips I put together from watching the snapping turtle babies emerge. I loved seeing all the little things they do. Every so often they are trying to rub the dirt off their face. And they are very determined to get to the stream asap! The one that goes in the water, if you watch when he gets out, you can see his eye looks like it's bulging, until he blinks and you realize there was a protective covering over it while he was in the water. I hadn't noticed this before with the full grown turtles. The little things sure are hardy as they would fall over stones and have to right themselves, some would even roll down the hill. But nothing stopped them!
