Monks bless hundreds of endangered baby turtles released into Cambodian river


Kratié (Cambodia) (AFP) – Hundreds of critically-endangered turtles take their first wild swim in Cambodia’s Mekong River, after being released from captivity by the Wildlife Conservation Society. Monks bless the baby reptiles — also known as “frog-faced turtles” — before helping conservationists and eager children send them into the Mekong’s muddy waters.
