Leatherback Turtle Rescued On Beach

This is the heartwarming moment a half-tonne endangered turtle was helped back into the sea after getting caught in a fishing net. The enormous leatherback was seen struggling near the beach in Camarines Sur, Philippines, on November 22, 2018, morning when locals managed to help it ashore. Several villagers carried the female creature to the sand and helped to unravel the net. Local vets then arrived to check on the turtle, which had suffered minor cuts and bruising after its ordeal. After being given the all clear, fisherman from the nearby fishing village of Duran hauled the leatherback into the ocean, where it glided away into the depths.
