The Life Cycle Of A Sea Turtle🐢

I am learning to inform my audience through explanation

Have you ever been so fascinated about a reptile that has been here aeons before you have? Not Sharks ,Tuataras , the duck billed platypus or the saw fish... I’m talking about sea turtles! And this their life cycle. It all begins with an egg.

                                                                                           The female sea turtle will go back to the same beach where she started her cycle,

Go past the high tide line and into the perfect spot to lay her eggs.  Once she has, The eggs will be bericated in the deep sand. This will prevent predators coming and eating the eggs before they hatch.Roughly 20% of these eggs do not hatch, but the ones that do will start to venture to the ocean. This is called the young sea turtle stage.

Once the baby sea turtles are in the ocean , they are basically going into the hunger games. Like searching for food , Squirming away from predators etc. For shelter the baby sea turtles can hide/ rest under bits and bobs(seaweed) until they are strong enough to venture in the ocean by themselves. Whilst growing up, Sea turtles usually eat  seaweed, jellyfish, fish eggs and more they also eat these foods in the adulthood.

Finally, the adulthood! A sea turtle living its normal life, swimming free in the ocean. Swish Swoosh! Ooh this female sea turtle has come upon the breeding stage, where she’ll prepare to lay eggs. Again, she will go past the high tide, go into a cave looking place and lay her eggs. Once she has she will cover them with sand so that it’s not easy for predators to munch on them for lunch. The mother will now go back into the ocean to her everyday life.

Years and Years have gone by and it’s finally time for this mother sea turtle to have her eternal rest. Sea turtles are miraculous reptiles, that will live aeons after us. I’m glad you had an opportunity to read the document on your screen.
