Burrito – The Tasty Explorer

Burrito, a green sea turtle, is a true gourmet of the sea, spotted nearly 90 times since her first appearance on April 4, 2008. With her vibrant shell and playful personality, she loves to snack on seagrass and explore the underwater world of Marsa Abu Dabab. Just like a burrito wrapped in a delicious tortilla, she’s always ready for a new adventure, full of flavor and zest, with every twist and turn she makes in the water.
