SEA TURTLE TAKES VIDEO WITH LOST CAMERA

Filed under: General — site admin @ 11:30 am

It all started when a diver near Aruba lost his Nikon Coolpix camera that was inside an underwater housing. It turned up several months later on a Florida beach, 1100 miles from where it was lost. The camera was just fine so a Coast Guard investigator used the photos on the camera to try and track down the camera’s owner.

Photos were posted on several Web sites and someone recognized the photos and the owner was located.

During the 1100 mile journey, the strap on the camera housing got tangled with a sea turtle. In the thrashing about, the video was turned on and the sea turtle unwittingly recorded 5 minutes of video.

The whole story is here, photos from the camera are here, and the video is here.
