Hundreds of newborn olive ridley sea turtles scramble into the sea in Amihan beach, Mati City, Davao Oriental, the Philippines on May 6. <br /><br />The beautiful sight amazed beachgoers who gathered round to see the babies enjoy their first taste of the ocean. <br /><br />Surfing instructor Winston Plaza, who lives on the island, captured the mother emerging from the nest and the babies later entering the sea. He said: "Apart from surfing, we try to teach tourists about respecting these guys habitat. During egg-laying season, we the locals make sure that mother turtles successfully lay their eggs and that the babies would reach the ocean." <br /><br />The olive ridley sea turtle is the second smallest of all turtles and can be found in tropical waters.
