How to Take a Tissue Sample From a Flatback Turtle

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of collecting DNA from a flat back turtle to identify if the turtles nesting on the beach are the same ones that hatched there. The procedure involves restraining the turtle, taking a small tissue sample, and tagging the turtle for future identification. The tagging helps track the turtle's nesting patterns over the years. The tutorial concludes with the release of the turtle and a brief mention of the narrator's journey to become a Croc Island Ranger.
