KARACHI: An endangered green turtle was spotted at a beach near Sandspit, Manorah Monday morning.
An official of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Aijaz Ahmed said the turtle measured 41 inches in length and weighed approximately 0.066 tons.
The sandy and rocky combination of the beach and sea make Turtle Beach an ideal place for the endangered species to thrive.
The turtle reportedly visited the beach to lay an egg.
Speaking to Geo News, an IUCN official said beach visitors usually harm turtles and their eggs hence a guard appointed by the organization helped the turtle safely make its way back to the sea.
