WATCH: Thousands of wild turtles in the ocean captured in one never-before shot | Traveller24_SA

Taken in 2016 but only released this week, the video slowly zooms out from a few turtles going about their day in the open ocean off the coast of Costa Rica's Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, to thousands of the critters, thousands more swimming underwater hidden from view.According to National Geographic, this is the greatest density of a sea turtle species ever recorded.

It's the result of an annual event where hundreds of thousands of female sea turtles turn up at the South American country within days of each other. Ostional is one of the only places where so many gather in one spot in one short period, usually between August and October.
