Is this related to your previous post about the Turtle Cave?; June 17, 2008 8:25 PM
BNS said...: Here's a lucky sea turtle that survived being munched by a shark. If only she could talk! I'll bet she could tell quite a tale about the day the shark took a bite out of her. I took the photo at Sipadan Island, Malaysia.

Happy Wordless Wednesday.

Shannon said...: It is amazing it survived. I think sea turtles are my favorite sea animal. I got quite sunburned in South Texas once watching a turtle surface in the same spot of the jetties every 6-8 minutes. I watched for hours with out realizing how much time had gone by.; June 18, 2008 3:33 AM

Will said...: It is hard to know for sure the size of the turtle. How big is it? Now it just better stay out of caves!

thecabinet said...: You take such beautiful pics...wow. Happy WW and thanks for stopping by:); June 19, 2008 3:28 PM
BNS said...: Thanks to all of our Wordless Wednesday friends for visiting and commenting.

Will asked how big this turtle was. This was an average-sized adult -- the carapace (top shell) would have measured about two and a half feet in length (roughly 75 cm).
