Pineapple tortoiseshell turtles lay eggs in Con Dao: Extremely rare species!

The ducks in Con Dao are very rare.

On December 15, Con Dao National Park recorded a hawksbill sea turtle laying 98 eggs on the beach and then returning safely to the sea. The fact that the hawksbill sea turtle came ashore to lay eggs at Dat Doc beach is a good sign for the recovery of the sea turtle population. The eggs have been safely moved to the hatching site.
