So this kemps ridley turtle was found in october with a tarp tangled around his neck, almost choking him to death. He was taken to the arc (a turtle recovery center) until his neck healed. Today we put a transmitter on him and then released him into the ocean, pretty cool. I also witnessed a ribbon snake catch a big tree frog by the hind leg and slowly swallow him whole. the frog wasn't too happy about the whole ordeal and put up a pretty good fight, but he eventually expended all his energy and got eaten, survival of the fittest. it was kind of sad, i was rooting for the cute frog.
