A turtle struggles to free itself just before it's scheduled release. Thousands of Arrau turtles were released in the Orinoco river as part of a 10 year program that has released over 165,000 turtles. The Venezuelan government says the program holds the world record for number of endagered species released into the wild. The turtles are threatened by a variety of predators, including humans who eat their eggs and meat.
