Sea turtles are amazing creatures of wonder, ones that echo from an ancient world of the past that no longer exist. But the odds of a sea turtle existing today is much slimmer than it seems.

TED Education explains the survival of the sea turtle in this cute and enlightening animation that is featured on Neatorama and ScienceDump.
