Out of nowhere, she got an intense feeling that she should turn around for a moment \u2014 and that\u2019s when she spotted him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755318968_262_scale;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\"  alt=\"baby sea turtle in seaweed\" width=\"792\" height=\"1328\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:792 \/ 1328\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>Miss Say\u00e9 Yabandeh<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">A tiny blob was buried in a huge pile of seaweed, and upon closer inspection, Yabandeh realized it was a baby sea turtle.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">\u201cSomething told me to turn around, just to see you, baby,\u201d Yabandeh said in a video on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755318968_515_scale;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\"  alt=\"baby sea turtle\" width=\"792\" height=\"1316\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:792 \/ 1316\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>Miss Say\u00e9 Yabandeh<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">Yabandeh gently picked up the little guy, who was barely moving. She held him in her hand for a while and began walking out towards the ocean, hoping the baby would start to perk up.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">\u201cTypically, newly hatched turtles embark on a long journey to the sea at this time, but on this particular day, the thick seaweed posed a grave threat,\u201d Bonnie Mai, a representative for Yabandeh, told The Dodo. \u201cA seaweed tractor was soon to arrive, risking harm to the fragile creature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">As Yabandeh held the baby closer to the water and walked farther out into the sea, he immediately began to perk up, moving his little legs. She walked him out past the seaweed so that he wouldn\u2019t get caught again. She felt very connected to the baby sea turtle at that moment, and waited until she could feel he was truly ready. Finally, she placed him in the water, and off he went.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755318969_161_scale;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\"  alt=\"baby sea turtle\" width=\"792\" height=\"1319\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:792 \/ 1319\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>Miss Say\u00e9 Yabandeh<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">The little baby confidently swam away, and Yabandeh could not have been more thrilled.<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"1\">\u201cThe experience was a beautiful testament to interspecies connection and healing,\u201d Mai said. \u201cFollowing this, Miss Say\u00e9 took a moment on the seaweed-laden beach to meditate and send gratitude and [healing energy] to the Atlantic Ocean, honouring the sacred cycle of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-element-index=\"0\">The entire experience was aligned with who Yabandeh is and the message she tries to spread throughout the world. <\/p>\n<p>You can follow Miss Say\u00e9 Yabandeh on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/misssaye\/?hl=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/giant-sea-turtle-trapped-between-rocks-had-given-up-hope-of-ever-being-saved\" data-vars-href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/giant-sea-turtle-trapped-between-rocks-had-given-up-hope-of-ever-being-saved\" data-vars-ga-action=\"related link\" data-vars-ga-label=\"daily-dodo\/giant-sea-turtle-trapped-between-rocks-had-given-up-hope-of-ever-being-saved\" data-vars- rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755318969_417_flatten;crop;webp=auto;jpeg_quality=60.jpg\" alt=\"Giant Sea Turtle Trapped Between Rocks Had Given Up Hope Of Ever Being Saved\" width=\"116\" height=\"156\" style=\"display:block;height:auto;aspect-ratio:116 \/ 156\" loading=\"eager\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/giant-sea-turtle-trapped-between-rocks-had-given-up-hope-of-ever-being-saved\" data-vars-href=\"https:\/\/www.thedodo.com\/daily-dodo\/giant-sea-turtle-trapped-between-rocks-had-given-up-hope-of-ever-being-saved\" data-vars-ga-action=\"related link\" data-vars-ga-label=\"daily-dodo\/giant-sea-turtle-trapped-between-rocks-had-given-up-hope-of-ever-being-saved\" data-vars- rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Giant Sea Turtle Trapped Between Rocks Had Given Up Hope Of Ever Being SavedShe was too weak to get out on her own \ud83d\ude30<\/a><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miss Say\u00e9 Yabandeh\u00a0was doing her morning meditation on the beach, just before sunrise, and was about to head&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70456,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[15519,5439,1397,90,5438,5436,19838,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-70455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-caitlin-jill-anders","tag-daily-dodo","tag-environment","tag-science","tag-standard","tag-the-dodo","tag-turtle","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70455"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70455\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70455"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
