The Great Turtle Race
So, in order to study the migration patterns and natural behaviours of the great leatherback turtle (the best species of turtle in the whole wide world!), some scientists strapped sophisticated satellite tracking devices onto the backs of 11 leatherbacks. The best part? Being able to track them online. You learn about their movement patterns and you can watch them slowly make their way to the breeding grounds. I think at the end of it you learn who traveled the farthest, who swam the deepest, who swam through the coldest waters, etc.
Seriously.. the office poll possibilities are endless! ha ha... I was sharing this with my friends via e-mail initially, but I have to share the Great Turtle Race love with my f-list. XD
