Watch: Rare moment baby albino turtle hatches right in front of beachgoers
A baby albino turtle hatched right in front of beachgoers in a rare moment captured on video in Australia on 20 January.
Penelope Arias Mayoral was documenting hatchlings on Heron Island when she witnessed a newly-hatched green turtle clawing out of the sand, revealing its white body and red eyes associated with albinism.
Albino turtles are a 1 in 100,000 occurrence.
This youngster had just survived being picked up in a seagull’s beak before being dropped back in the sand.
Mayoral said: “I watched the little turtle make its way to the water and swim off into the distance, feeling relieved and hopeful that it’s out there thriving."
