The video shared on May 8 has taken the internet by storm. With nearly 50,000 views, the video has been liked more than 2,000 times. According to reports, a month back, over eight lakh Olive Ridley Turtles had returned to the coasts of Odisha, at the Gahirmatha beach and the rookeries in Rushikulya, for mass nesting. The eggs started to hatch in early May and the turtles finally made their way to the sea uninterrupted, as humans are still under lockdown and beaches are not crowded. 

‘Nature rehabilitation’ 

While several internet users called the video ‘beautiful’, others also suggested that tourists should never be allowed near the place during this time. One internet user wrote, “Wow amazing sir. Nature at it's best”. Another said, ”This is the most moving and beautiful thing to me”.
