A baby turtle is released into the exhibit tank at Melbourne Zoo. Reptile keepers have achieved a significant Australian first, the breeding of the critically endangered Chinese Three-striped Box Turtle, generally known as Golden Coin Turtles. These turtles are native to creeks in rainforests throughout South-east Asia and southern China. Photograph: David Caird/Rex Features
What makes this image is the colors, right? The way that the turtle seems to glow atop the kid’s head, and the beautiful turquoise rippled above even that. This is a beautiful picture.
