VOYAGE OF THE LONELY TURTLE:
Explore the massive Pacific Ocean through the eyes of a 30-year-old sea turtle as she embarks on an extraordinary 9,000-mile migration to breed and lay eggs on the beach where she was born. Instinct will guide her along one of the longest journeys undertaken by any animal on land or sea, and she will make it all alone. From the west coast of Mexico to a small stretch of beach in Japan, this ancient traveler will encounter hammerhead sharks, face terrifying typhoons, pass exotic kingdoms of the sea, and risk man-made death traps in the form of fishing nets and hooks. Discover what researchers and turtle enthusiasts have learned about how this curious creature navigates this astounding trip. Narrated by F. Murray Abraham.
