Help Out Friend With Hawksbill Turtles!

This afternoon I went to my friend with his final year project on Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata). Today he was going to do a measurement for growth analysis of a total of 5 turtles. They are so naughty!! I helped by holding them one at a time while my friend take the measurements.They keep paddling in the air... I have to hold very carefully, and one of them cut my left palm with its paddle. Very sharp! 2 small portions of my skin came off and the cuts bleed immediately. It hurts! (~.~)

Anyway, after that we went for a short tour in our Museum & Aquarium. It has been so long since I last visited there. A nice place~

Me with Giganto!

Compare my finger with its head!

Heads same size!

It knows where the camera is!

Tiring day~
Tomorrow will be going for a practical fieldwork. Gonna join a commercial trawling boat for trawling...
Hope its fun!
cheers~
