Baby Green Sea Turtles

I volunteered today at the Aquarium and I got to see the baby green sea turtles! There are 10 of them and they're SOOO cute. They're about the size of a dinner plate. They don't look green at all. So I wonder if they were formally black sea turtles. Black sea turtles recently were decided they would not be their own species and they've been lumped in with green sea turtles. Don't ask me how that was decided, but the science community decided it.

Here's a photo: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/maNY14gTKV-ld-yBq8_dg6UVOY2tKEcGomRI704GiNI?feat=directlink

You will probably want to mute the video since there's a mother/daughter next to me talking pretty loud. The photo and videos were both taken with my iPhone 4! They turned out pretty good. The video looks better not on Picasa, but it's not too bad. The photo I'm purely amazed about. It didn't come out blurry from the turtle moving.
