Sea Turtles

Millions of years ago sea turtle have walked with dinosaurs. Once an adult sea turtle reaches breeding age she lays eggs under the sand. Sadly only 800 out of 1OOO eggs hatch, but that means bad luck for those 800  because they have to try and crawl away from or fight off people and or predators such and, crabs, tiger shark, killer whale, great white sharks, seagulls, & bumper sharks. Only 400 make it to sea because of those predators, 200 carry on swimming, 20 have babies and 2 of all those 20 mums and dads live till’ old aged death. After the first set of turtles have their kids the cycle starts all over again, good grief.  Most life cycles are never- ending but not this one the, sea turtles are RARE coz animals and people kill and eat them.
