“One interesting behavior of the Hawaiian green turtle is its fondness for coming onshore at isolated sites to bask. Basking is rare among marine turtles, and for the Hawaiian green, this behavior seems to be limited to the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands like Kaua’i. It is thought that they do this for thermoregulation (to warm up) or to rest (sleep in the sun). Sounds just like humans to me.”
