Here is a short version:

A rare type of turtle baby was found on a beach in Queensland.

These babies are a mix of a green turtle and a loggerhead turtle.

What happens next?

Researchers want to learn more about turtles having babies together.

Some rare turtle babies were found on a beach in Queensland.

These babies are a mix of a loggerhead and a green turtle.

They were found near a place called Bundaberg.

This place is very important for loggerhead turtles.

Some turtle babies that are a mix of loggerhead and green turtles were found.

A conservation officer named Kimberly Finlayson talked about the turtles.

She said that turtles having babies together is not common.

She found the turtle babies when she was watching a turtle nest.

The turtle babies were found when researchers were watching a turtle.

Kimberly was counting the scales on the turtle babies.

She thought something was not right.

Then she realized that the baby looked like a green turtle, not a loggerhead.

Two of the babies were found in one nest, and 13 more were found in another nest.

Some of the turtle babies were sent to Sea World for more research.

Kimberly said that each nest can have babies from many fathers.

She said that the big question is if the mixed turtles can have babies.

Some of the mixed turtles were sent to Sea World, and the rest were set free.

A woman named Siobhan Houlihan works at Sea World.

She said that she had not seen mixed turtles in a long time.

She said that the last time they had mixed turtles was many years ago.

One of the mixed turtles died from a disease.

The mixed turtles will be researched and then set free.

Siobhan said that the new turtles look like green turtles.

But now they look like little loggerhead turtles.

They will keep watching the turtles to see how they grow.

Siobhan said that they will learn about the mixed turtles for a few years.
