July 12, 2010 Gulf Shores, AL - Alabama's first sea turtle nest to transfer to Kennedy Space Center on the Atlantic Coast of Florida. The eggs would not be difficult to carry; however, the fact that they are packed in sand from their Alabama nest makes the containers heavier than they look. Upon hatching, each baby turtle will weigh less than an ounce (about 20 grams). Photo by Bonnie Strawser, USFWS
