bali indonesia

annie, ben & mango!! you never know where they're gonna go! oooh, the sand is sooo warm. it feels just like my dog bed at home. wake me when the turtles show up.

bali indonesia, that could be a long time, ben. we can’t be sure exactly when they hatch. there are thousands of turtle eggs under us right here on the beach. don’t worry, mango,

the mother turtles bury their eggs deep -- you won’t hurt them. if i was buried in this sand, i’d never hatch... just sleeeeeep. are you a turtle? huh? i’m wayan! you don’t look like a turtle.

i’m not a turtle. i’m a dog. oh. well, nice meeting you -- -- i have to go find my brothers and sisters now. goodbye. was i dreaming? annie!!! i must have been laying on a nest of turtle eggs because...

i think i hatched one! an egg shell! ben -- you did hatch a turtle. did he go into the ocean? no. he went that way! he told me his name was wayan and he’s looking for his brothers and sisters.

his brothers and sisters haven’t hatched yet. he’s the first! green sea turtles are an endangered species. wayan’s more valuable than diamonds. we’ve got to get him! wait for us! i don’t see him! i don’t know where he went! we have to get him back to the ocean!

mango wants to know how you knew wayan was the first turtle to hatch. this is bali. the first born in every balinese family is named wayan. mango found his trail! and i’ve got his scent! follow me! whew! this is hard work. there’s got to be a faster way!

and there it is!!! ben! why’d you stop!? i lost the scent and the trail! this is the only way to travel! follow that motor turtle! i mean motor scooter! this is the fastest way to find the rest of my family. i can’t look! alright!

soft landing! wow! a show and -- -- dinner!!! there he is, let’s get him! we can’t disrupt the dance. that would be wrong.

it’s the pendet dance -- it’s a dance that welcomes everyone to bali. you wait here, ben. i’ve got an idea. we’ve got to get wayan out of the bowl without messing up the dance. move your hands like this. it’s supposed to look like bird heads. what are you doing?

i think his birds are hungry. get wayan! i’m coming, wayan!!! that was fun. now what? wheeeeeeee!!! wayan!!! this is soooo soft and sooo warm.

i think i’ll take a nap. he’s on a seagull! and that’s how we’re going to get him back! ready, annie!? good to go! hit it captain mango! i see the seagull! straight ahead! no. we can’t wait for it to land.

seagulls stay out at sea for 6 months sometimes. slow down!!! i need to get lower!!! wayan! are you in there? hello? hi, i’m annie. i’m going to take you to your brothers and sisters. great!

i’ve been looking for them everywhere! we’re coming in for a landing! now, that was fun! and that’s the best way i’ve ever seen to knock down a sand castle! wayan! look! it’s your family! thank you for getting me here just in time. would you like this soft thing to remember me by? a real seagull feather!

i love it! thank you! i promise i’ll never forget you. hey! wait for me!!! i think i’m going to miss him. sure. you’ve never hatched a turtle before, ben. you’re kind of like his mother. y’know, annie, that’s egg-zactly what i was thinking!

oh ben! bad joke!! get it!? egg-zactly. an egg! i hatched it! egg-zactly!?
