Coast to Coast


Believe it or not but a leatherback turtle, especially this leatherback turtle managed to make his way from the coast of Thailand to the shores of Oregon here in the United States. Researchers say the turtle is the perfect animal to be doing this time of coast to coast swimming. In 2003 nine turtles were tagged for research and swam to Oregon then down to Hawaii making it a 12,774 mile journey taking over 600 days.
