"Goosebumps to see these tiny baby turtles making their first voyage into the sea from our Forest Department Olive Ridley turtle hatchery at the Besant Nagar beach in Chennai". This was a video posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Supriya Sahu on Monday, April 1.
The video, which has gone viral, shows a worker gently releasing the newly hatched Olive Ridley turtles into the sea in Chennai, marking the beginning of their perilous journey in the vast ocean. “A new life, a new beginning as thousands of tiny baby Olive Ridley turtles begin their incredible journey into the world."
