SARASOTA, Fla. — Kissing cams are common sights during a baseball game, with couples smooching while fans howl with delight. Apparently, even turtles are getting into the act.
Police in Florida captured a photograph of two sea turtles “kissing” during the 36th annual Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix boat races over the weekend.
The Sarasota Police Department’s marine unit was patrolling the water to protect sea life during the event when officers snapped a photo of the turtles, WFLA reported.
The boat races were held near Big Sarasota Pass off Lido Key on Saturday and Sunday as part of the Suncoast Summer Fest, which raises money for local charities, WTSP reported.
The photo was taken by Officer Kevin Campbell, according to a Facebook post by the Sarasota Police Department.
