IALT: Reflect on an article based on a Turtle that washes itself up on the beach!
I just finished reading a article and it literally nearly broke my heart! A turtle has been washed up on a 90 mile beach! It is a critically endangered animal called a Hawksbill turtle that is being nursed to health now and It was exhausted, dehydrated, not eating and sadly was missing a flipper!
I am really heartbroken because turtles are common in my culture because of it's beautiful patterns on their shells and how kind they are to us! So usually we will paint them in our tapa cloths which are called a Ngatu! I am also really upset because turtles are one of my most favourite animals in the world because whenever I go to Tonga, The clear water that surrounds it had beautiful and lovely turtles swimming around it which made me so excited that I actually got to hold a baby turtle!
Now reading this article makes me sad! I do really appreciate sea animals and Turtles are mostly the animals I love and care for! This turtle was very skinny as you can see and the nurse that was taking care of him said that he had been eating plastic around the ocean when he wasn't washed up to survive!
Luckily, since they kept on doing check - ups on him, On his latest one, He has been showing encouraging signs and improvements that he has done.
