<span style="color: #222222;">In Thailand, a green sea turtle have returned after laying eggs on a deserted Thai beach. The green sea turtle dives back into the turquoise-colored waters of the Andaman Sea. It is a welcome sight for biologists who say the absence of tourists spurred the marine animal's return.<br />''<br />''The turtle's nesting was spotted in November by scientists. In about two months, the 100 eggs will hatch and babies will slide towards the sea, guided by the moonlight.<br />''<br />''Pre-pandemic, millions of tourists thronged to the white sand beaches of southern Thailand, ferried to the islands by tour boats which dissuaded the skittish creatures from venturing ashore.<br />''<br />''Other species that live in the warm waters around Thailand include leatherback, hawksbill, green, and loggerhead turtles.</span><br />
