<p>Soak in the spectacular sight of Olive ridley turtle babies making their first trek to the Arabian Sea in Velas</p>


Baby Olive ridley turtles all set to embrace the sea in Velas.
Turtles - female Olive ridley turtles in particular - have a phenomenal memory. In their lifespan of about 50 years, where they swim for thousands of miles in the underwater world, they never forget one route. The females return to the same beach where they hatched to give birth to new life. The creatures are also communal in nature - they arrive at their native beach in thousands to lay eggs. The phenomenon, which makes for a stunning sight, is called Arribada.
