Is this sea turtle sick


Laying eggs in broad daylight and very shallow. Do you think she's sick, or just wanted to get the heck outta there?

Probably just had to do it in the light so she could find her way around all the holes and crap left on the beach.

It's rare, but it happens. She showed no signs of distress or sickness whatsoever. She re-entered the water about 10 after 6, so it wasn't like she came in at noon. She probably came ashore around 5:30 prior to the sun being up.

Video was the only way we could record her activity. As we were photographing tents and chairs left on the beach overnight, we knew that any still photography would have made the camera flash and so we didn't do any stills until right as she was getting ready to go back out.
