SAN DIEGO ZOO WELCOMES 41 ENDANGERED TURTLE HATCHLINGS

It only took two decades, but a rare and endangered turtle species has finally bred at the San Diego Zoo. Zoo officials announced the arrival this week of 41 tiny Indian narrow-headed softshell turtle hatchlings. Conservationists from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance had for 20 years closely monitored three adult turtles for any indications of breeding.
