One last entry in this sequence of sea animals: A reptile this time. We found this green sea turtle on one of the beaches on the north side of Oahu, Hawaii. These things are HUGE.
The “turtle guards” were close behind, ready to throw a perimeter rope around the creature in order to set the approach limits for the curious. Come any closer than that, and one risks being accused of molesting the turtle. I think the punishment is banishment to a Gulag labor camp, or some such thing.
