the life cycle of the sea turtle

the life cycle of the sea turtle🐢

Did you Know that sea turtles have lasted since dinosaur age? It would be a shame if they started to die out now.

Sea turtles are maraculars. First sea turtles come up to the sand and dig a hole, then They lay their eggs in the sand hole and bury the eggs up. There are up to 1000 eggs laid from a female sea turtle in a breeding season.

400 make into the water through obstacles like crabs, rubbish, birds and many more. After they make it into the water they hide under a decent chunk of seaweed to hide from predators, but only 200 make it into adults. At only 1 year old they are as big

as a dinner plate and at 10 years old

they are as big as a dinner table.

After a few months when the sea turtles are big enough they come out from the seaweed and explore the ocean. 20 survive without human interference, But sadly only 2 survive with human interference. This was a problem in Thailand because people were throwing coins in the area in a zoo where the sea turtle lives and they chucked coins in for good luck, the sea turtle thought that they were gold fish and ate the coins. then the turtle had to have surgery and they pulled out 915 coins.

for good luck, the sea turtle thought that they were gold fish and ate the coins. then the turtle had to have surgery and they pulled out 915 coins.

That is why we should protect our sea turtles before they die out because it would be a shame. So please help these wonderful animals who deserve a chance in life.
