Fauna: Pamplemousses Garden Sells 11 Baby Turtles

In the direction of the garden, is the lack of space that is the cause. "Sixty turtles are born each year. They require a lot of maintenance, " says an officer of the garden. Adding that "the pen is not suitable for children."

The officer says that this decision stems from the fact that in the past, the public is interested in the purchase of baby turtles. Once this lot exhausted other turtles will be sold within two months.
