ALBINO GREEN TURTLE HATCHLING

Albino green turtle discovered in turtle nest on beach in Mackay, Queensland.


“Normally they would not live long in the wild as they either get eaten, or badly sunburnt, and their eyesight is affected by the strong sunlight.

We are hoping he will survive, and if he does ReefHQ will be applying for a license to keep him in captivity, where he has a much stronger chance of survival.

He is eating well and very active in the tank, even diving to the bottom”.
