Leo's Search For A New Home

Leo the sea turtle is born in Brazil near Rio. Its a tough shuffle from his egg to the ocean, but he makes it there eventually. The little guy finds friends right away, first with a wise eagle named Sunny Ray. Sunny warns him of a big danger: trash! Bags can look like food, and discarded nets are hard to see. Leo has to be careful. He swims on and meets three eels that are afraid of the big, stinky shadow above. Its a huge garbage patch, stuck together like glue. A swordfish named Blade tells them about a beautiful reef where the trash doesnt go, so Leo swims in search of a gorgeous new home. He gets tangled in fishing wire along the way, but Leo is lucky. He makes it to shore and finds kind humans cleaning the beach. They help cut his flipper free. Not all animals are so lucky. Human trash can make sea creatures sick, so its important for all of us to take care of our oceans and be careful what we throw away. The ocean is a magical place, and we dont want it destroyed!
