PHUKET: Officials have yet to provide any explanation was to why only eight leatherback baby turtles from the nest on Mai Khao Beach so far have hatched and made their way into the sea, from a total of 106 eggs in the nest.

 

In total, nearly 80% of the 106 eggs failed to hatch.

 

Officers from the Marine National Park Operation Centre 2 reported that at 5am on Saturday (Mar 6) two baby turtles had made their way from the nest to the surface of the sand and scrambled their way to the water’s edge.
