The Moonlight Turtle Race 🐢

What happens

On a moonlit beach in Zakynthos, Greece, little flippers pop out of the sand and dozens of baby loggerhead turtles start running to the sea. It's 'lights off' (babies follow the moon), so the kids juggle in the dark, a monk seal peeks from the waves, and a scops owl beeps like a tiny alarm clock.

Fun facts

• Baby turtles find the sea by following the bright horizon over the water.
• On turtle beaches, no lights and no touching.
• Scops owls beep like little alarm clocks.
