What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOn a lighter note, Georgia's beaches logged four thousand one hundred seventy-four loggerhead sea turtle nests this year, the most in decades, the Washington Post reports.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThis is file footage, not the Georgia turtles, just archive hatchlings doing their best. Roll it.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentLook at this, two of them just popped out of the sand.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThey're very small. I'm not watching closely.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentWatch the one on its own here, crossing the sand toward the water. That flipper work is elite.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe's stopping! Keep going, sweetheart, the ocean is right there!

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentYou said you didn't care.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI contain multitudes. Now run it back.

  9. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentViral Score, eight out of ten. Two points off because the last hatchling took eleven seconds to cross one footprint.
