Two British holidaymakers had to put their holiday on hold last month to rescue a giant sea turtle.
Charlotte Young, 27, a marine biologist from Bristol was on holiday with boyfriend George Chislett, walking along the coast of Ras Al Jinz beach when they came across the trapped animal.
Charlotte Young found the turtle while she was walking along a beach in Oman, the poor creature was almost camouflaged between the rocks
The pair quickly set to work, silhouetted against the cloudy skies as they tried to pry the 130kg animal loose
Struggling to get a hold of the smooth shell, the pair opted for trying to lever the turtle out with a piece of nearby driftwood
After more than half an hour of exertion the turtle was happily freed and able to re-enter the safety of the sea
With almighty grunts and a bit of screaming, the animal slides free, its flippers cartwheeling, desperate to get away. The lucky rescue happened on July 1.
