Photo 45 FOMA False Crawl | Photo 46 FOMA False Crawl | Photo 47 FOMA Baby found with undeveloped front flipper. Found on stormy day so taken to Aquarium for rehab. It was released later offshore by Coast Guard. | Photo 48 FOMA Ghost Crab (Ocypode quadrata) dug into Loggerhead Sea Turtle nest and pulled hatchling out of nest. Turtle was still alive, taken to NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores for Rehabilitation. Wire on nest to keep large predators from digging into nest. Wire must be large enough for hatchling to escape, which allows for occasional predication from animals like Ghost Crabs. |
