How Sea Turtles Turn to Adults

How Sea Turtles Turn into Adults Sea Turtles 

Today we will be telling you how small eggs that look like ping pong balls grow into adult turtles.    

Adult turtles are sea turtles but are  adults. The mummy turtle lays 1,000 eggs and 20% don't hatch and 80% do.There enemies  are sharks and dolphins.  When they are babies they can get eaten by almost anything.

800 hatch and walk over to the sea but on the way to  the water there are crabs and big birds like seagulls that try to catch the baby turtles when they are trying to work over to the sea. So it means that only 400 make it to the water alive.but some get eaten by seagulls and sharks.

After they  are in the  sea they swim and to survive they have to avoid all of their main predators like sharks,dolphins and seabirds. The baby sea turtles go up to the surface of the sea to get a breath of fresh air to survive in the water. The turtles feed on little insects that grow in the water like snails and dead little fish.     

When they are all grown up by the end of the process there are only a couple of turtles that actually survived the hole thing of growing up. And after the processes is done that go back to the beach and lay their eggs in the sand on the beach. Then the  process starts all over again.
