Hatching all alone and without their parents present, these hatchlings emerge fresh out of their eggs, as little black Ridley turtle bachhas see light of world for first time. In the successful end game as their host country, rare Ridley Turtles breed along pristine Odisha coast sands in India, successfully reach the Bay of Bengal sea to migrate and begin their journey of life. Flippers run wild as turtle bachhas scurry towards the Bay of Bengal. Few will make it out alive. Human good samaritans lift the laggards and take them to the sea. When the life giving water itself turns the turtles upside down, along come these good samaritans who help rare Olive Ridley Turtles right themselves on Odisha beach, or they would die within hours.
