was a really lovely program I,d love to visit Ireland one day, have seen dolphins once in falmouth harbour was amazing but would love to see a turtle in the wild, if I ever won the lottery I,d spend a lot of it travelling to places to see those sort of things and learn to dive with them.

The turtle was as big as a car they said.

oh right!! i will have a look now and see if they are repeating it!!

did they sayhow long will a turtle stay around ireland for, and what months?, just a little confused
cause they would have to be up here during the warm months to survive, but they also need to lay during the warm months,

Missed the program but no doubt it will be repeated in the future.

Very jealous at the moment my friend is going to Borneo at Easter and is visiting a turtle conservation program. She has one thing to do. Take lots of PHOTOS!!!!!!

Paul, the leather back turtle is the only reptile which can create its own body heat according to the program.

I missed some of the program but was watching it with one eye really as I was on here too.
