Fauna & Flora International (FFI) recently filmed 15 critically endangered Burmese peacock softshell turtles hatching in Myanmar—a possible first-ever video of their species. Named for the peacock-like spots on their shells, these once-abundant freshwater animals are now among the world's most endangered.

Volunteer "turtle guardians" with FFI protected the nest sites until the eggs hatched. After a brief study, the hatchlings were released into the wild. Watch the video and learn more: Business Insider | Endangered Earth Online. Video credit: © Nyein Chan and Yae Aung / fauna-flora.org.
