CHENNAI: A group of fishermen in Chennai’s Besant Nagar last week was caught unawares with a rare sight—a critically endangered Hawksbill turtle hatchling near the broken bridge coast. This is the first time a live Hawksbill turtle has been spotted in Chennai, although a few dead ones sometimes wash ashore in the ocean currents.
