An endangered green turtle returns to the ocean having laid her eggs on Nosy Ankao island near Miavana, Time + Tide’s new Madagascan lodge
The coast
The sharp, loud ‘snap’ sounds like a whip crack. I’m momentarily worried for my fingers. No, they’re still all there. I dunk my hand back into the bucket and hold out another piece of seaweed. The turtles shove each other in the water, greedily pushing for the prized morsel on offer. Jaws snap, and the biggest one has taken it, his smaller and weaker companions looking mournfully up at me.
