SRI LANKA VLOG #15 - UDAWALAWE ELEPHANT TRANSIT HOME

#SriLanka #TurtleHatchery #Udawalawe

Today was a different day. In the morning we visited an Elephant Transit Home, Baby elephants that lost their parents live in this place until they are 5 years old, and then they are released in the wild again. This facility is in Udawalawe National Park.

In the afternoon we went to Kosgoda to visit Victor Hasselblad Sea Turtle Research And Conservation Centre. They buy turtle eggs in the black market and help them hatch and later release them in the ocean. THey keep a few to study, the blind, the albino and those who are born with deficiency.

We wild coment about these two facilities in another video, later. Understand that nobody is perfect and these facilities pretend to make good for the animals. Depending, on the person you are walking with, this might be true or not.
