nah mate, I skinned the things myself (if that is possible...) I pulled them outta the little shells myself mate after catching them in my drift nets. Tough little buggers to get out too, they are. And that screaming noise they make as they separate from their shell lining...

leatherbacks grow to be about 8 feet long and weigh half a tonne. They shoot off 100 eggs at a time at about eight times a year and expect about 2 of those hatchlings at each burial to make it into the sea. Hopeless odds.

 

So I guess leatherbacks, beinbg the name will not have nice red shells.

Thanks for pointing that out, Tsonda.

That's really wierd. I just checked it again and now the link is in the middle of the sea near Fukushima! I guess Yahoo changes the addresses.

Probably best if anyone wants to know where it is, PM's me or fjef directly.
