‼️False Crawl‼️🐢👣

From a distance these may look like vehicle tracks but they are actually green sea turtle tracks found in the park in 2 different areas today!

False crawls happen when the turtle comes ashore intending to nest but either gets spooked or doesn’t like the location. The Amos Rehabilitation Keep - ARK at UT Marine Science Institute estimated this turtle to be about 250-300 lbs.

We are in peak green sea turtle nesting season, which nest at night. If you happen on one at night please turn off all lights, observe from a distance and report the nest to 1-866-TURTLE-5 (1-866-887-8535).
