How A Sea Turtles Grows Into An Adult.

How does Sea Turtles grows into an adult? Well they are from 150 millions years ago and now they are about to be extinct by pollution. As humans we should protect or animals and other species that is important to us. Adults approximately live only for 80 months or more.

It takes approximately 20 years for female sea turtles to lay eggs. Female sea turtles lay  about   50 -200 eggs.After the mother sea turtle lays her eggs ,she covers the eggs up with sand and leaves  them  on the beach.

Once the baby sea turtles hatch from the eggs there will be only 80% of the sea turtles that do hatch and the other 20% that would not hatch.While they are hatching there are other species such as predators waiting to hunt them down such as crabs, birds,and rubbish. After they reach the sea approximately only 50% will survive the journey to make it to the sea.Baby sea turtles are approximately  the same size of our palm.

Once the sea turtle babies reach the ocean they will try and find hiding places such as seaweed because there are many more predators waiting for them in the sea.Predators that are waiting for them are   whales, sharks, pollution, dolphins, sea birds(when they come up for air), and waves.Only 50% of the sea turtles will survive growing up.

When female sea turtles are age 20 they can breed and crawl onto to the beach and lay eggs between 50-200.After she has laid her eggs she covers them up with sand which starts the life cycle again and again.
