I don't think I've ever seen a sea turtle enclosure with a land portion. I always just assumed they wouldn't use it...

@Mr Gharial - they have three species in the pool and apparently they breed every year with the resulting young being released.

@Chlidonias Amazing! Is there any other zoo/park that successfully breeds sea turtles in Captivity?
