I Found a Sea Turtle... Upside Down (rescue)

During mating season, females will seek refuge on the sand from the male turtles who are trying to mate with them. Male turtles can’t walk on sand properly, so very rarely a male can stay attached to the female and come up on the sand. When this happens, they sometimes fall off and land upside down on the beach. They are then completely helpless and it is a very slow death. Thankfully, I was able to find and flip this turtle back around and help it live another day.
