How do sea turtles grow to adults?

How do sea turtles grow to adults?


Did you know that sea turtles were in our world for
150 million years and 50% don’t live.


Approximately 20 years to breed and females swim
to a beach to lay their eggs high and all the eggs are a size
of a ping pong ball, plus 50 to 200 eggs are laid.  


When they hatch into a baby sea turtle, they run as fast to the ocean,
and swim above seaweed because their predators are crabs, raccoons and seagulls.


When they are growing up there predators are killer whales, fishes and sharks
because they don't like baby sea turtle so much because they don’t have much
meat/ guts in it.


When they are adult they have a few predators,
mostly large sharks, fishes, dogs, seabirds, raccoons,
ghost crabs, and other predators prey on eggs and hatch lings.
All of the sea turtles live for approximately 80 years old.

This completes the fascinating life cycle of the sea turtles.
The action of growing from an egg to a breeding as a journey for your
life there is only 10% of the sea turtles.
