Mystery of the gnaraloo sea turtles
For the first time, scientists are satellite tracking loggerhead sea turtles. Their results will shed light on these fascinating creatures’ mysterious migration routes.
“As adults they'll make migrations of hundreds maybe even thousands of kilometres, so it's a real mystery trying to unravel that life cycle”, says conservationist Dr. Jordan Thompson.
