00:00She's still here.
00:08Oh my gosh!
00:10We were just in time.
00:14There's some sand on it.
00:16You feel how soft it is.
00:18Wow!
00:20That's so cool.
00:22You can handle it now,
00:24but in 24 hours
00:26you can't handle it anymore
00:28because the yolk inside
00:30will get attached to this
00:32outside skin.
00:34And then if you turn it after 24 hours
00:36then it will kill the egg.
00:38For now, it's not a problem.
00:40You can handle it, you can turn it.
00:42So cool!
00:44So right now,
00:46we are just near the nesting site
00:48of a very, very successful mother.
00:50I'm right here holding a turtle egg
00:52and hopefully in 24 hours
00:54this egg is going to be fertilized
00:56and in a few weeks
00:58it's going to turn into a baby turtle.
01:08It's so amazing
01:10because we're right here at the nesting site.
01:12We need to put it back now
01:14because she's already starting to cover her eggs.
01:16But it feels so amazing.
01:18What an amazing experience
01:20to have here at the beach.
01:26Look how she's using her feet
01:28in almost like a groove
01:30to cover her eggs with the sand.
01:32The reason that they nest
01:34on the beach and not in the ocean
01:36is because they actually
01:38need the heat from the sun
01:40which goes onto the sand
01:42and then all the sand gets warm
01:44which makes all the eggs warm.
01:48Thanks to the whole team here
01:50at Maputo National Park
01:52we can have some healthy baby turtles
01:54going into our oceans.
01:56And hopefully this is going to happen
01:58for many generations to come
02:00and it's all thanks to the
02:02Maputo National Park's team.
02:04Give me some numbers, Mr. Pierre.
02:06905.
02:08905, OK.
02:14Well, now that she's laid her eggs
02:16about 120 of them
02:18she's heading back into the ocean
02:20where she belongs.
