This article is about sea Turtles and how long they live it's not a very long time simply because of oil spills and pollution and all of that starts because of us humans also this article is about how you can help the sea turtles live for a longer time. did you know that sea turtles have been around for roughly 150 000 000 years.
It all starts when a female Turtle crawls to land and digs a hole and then she lays the eggs and buries them. a female turtle can lay up to 1000 eggs but 200 dont survive.the eggs are the size of ping pong balls.the survival rate of them is only 1% and that's all because of us humans.
When they get to 1 years old they are the size of a dinner plate. only 20 of them survive breeding age which isn't really much considering 800 of them hatched and were born.
Only 400 make to the water.there predators are crabs,dolphins,fish and much much more.did you know when they get to 10 years of age they are the size of a dinner table? WOW thats pretty big!!!
Only 200 of them are on there way to breeding age thats not alot.
Turtle can live up to 150 million years which is a really long time but not many of them do because of oil spills,chemicals and many other things so make a difference and help sea turtles!!!
