#NSTviral: Sea turtle makes surprise visit behind woman's home
KUALA LUMPUR: A woman got an unexpected visitor when a sea turtle came ashore at night and made its way onto the sandy area behind her home.
A woman in Kuala Lumpur recently experienced a surprising encounter with a sea turtle that washed ashore behind her home. She shared images of the visitor on social media, where it quickly gained attention, accumulating over 335,000 views and 20,000 likes. The turtle was spotted just a few meters from the woman's house around 8pm and remained for several hours, during which it appeared to be digging in the sand.
After waiting until 10pm, the woman decided it had been waiting too long, and she was not inclined to wait further. She remains uncertain whether the turtle laid eggs. Social media users offered advice, suggesting she report the sighting to the Fisheries Department and refrain from disturbing the turtle, particularly with bright lights or camera flashes, as this could potentially harm the animal.
