A Kemp's ridley hatchling heads to sea.

The hatchlings are amazingly camoflaged as they walk down the beach.

My god they're sooooo tiny!! I'd be too afraid to let 'em go off into the dangers of the ocean, I'd wanna cuddle and protect the little fella's!

I really like the photo of the Dr. gal watching the hatchlings head off. Lovely exposure.
