Kemp's Ridley Turtles

Ever heard of these guys? I hadn't until I listend to a news report yesterday on NPR. Just more proof of how humans can screw up the earth. The ever-spreading ever-worsening BP oil spill is wreaking havoc on our ocean and all the life in it. I feel so small & helpless!

I know. It just makes me sick when I see the sealife dead from the oil spill. I just hope they are more tenacious than humans.
