I was happily riding along the beach last night listening to The Smiths song "Some girls are bigger than others" when I happened across a GIANT black thing up the beach near Mercury Road in Juno Beach. It was my first leatherback of the season, and she was definitely bigger than others!
When I saw that she was laying eggs through my night scope I approached her and checked for tags - none. A new turtle! She was a perfect leatherback, not a scratch on her and she was large. A bit bigger than our average size at 159 centimeters, but she seemed larger than most.
I gave her a few new tags and left her to finish nesting. Nothing else to report from last night. Getting sleepy now and getting ready for a good days sleep.
If you have a good name for this turtle, leave a comment below and maybe we'll name her for you!
