Leatherback Turtle Makes Rare Nesting Return | Virginia Beach News

A massive leatherback turtle—up to 2,000 pounds and 6 feet long—just nested on an Outer Banks beach for the first time since 2009, marking a rare and exciting moment for marine conservation.

Two big events in close proximity? A hopeful sign that these ancient sea turtles are still finding ways to thrive.
