IT was a sight to behold as five Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) made their way into sunset along Pantai Kerachut in Penang.

Cheered on by the Lions Club of Tanjung Penang members and their family, a six-year-old Green turtle could be seen wading through the sand with four other young ones as they made their way to the sea.
