Baby Turtles Under the Stars 🐢

What happens

In Oman, the ball crosses the Wahiba Sands, where a little sandfish lizard dives into the dunes and 'swims' away underneath, and camels race past. Then it's night on the beach at Ras al Jinz: tiny green turtle hatchlings scramble to the sea under the moon, and the kids keep the ball far back to give them room.

Fun facts

• Green sea turtles come back to the beach where they hatched to lay their own eggs.
• The sandfish is a lizard that dives into sand and wiggles through it like a fish.
• Turtle beaches are quiet zones: no lights, no touching.
