the female turtle digs  a hole  and lays 1000 eggs size of ping pong ball sized eggs leathery eggs 20% don’t hatch out of their eggs laid on the beach the eggs take about 6 weeks to hatch They breed when they are 20 years old Turtles are killed by poaching, Oil, Nets, rubbish, boats and beach development 800 eggs hatch 400 make it to sea 20 make it to breeding age (with no human interference) 2 make it to breeding age (with Human interference)	Sea turtles have been around since the late Jurassic period, 150 million years ago.  They evolved from the prehistoric turtles, Archelon and Henodus. The female turtle climbs slowly up the beach, where she digs a hole in which she will lay, 50 - 200 leathery, ping-pong ball sized eggs.   Finally after six weeks of sitting in the sand the eggs begin to hatch, emerging from the sand when they do. When they have hatched they are about the size of your palm.  20% do not hatch.   Once they have crawled out of the sand, they wriggle frantically to the water. Along the way they meet dangers such as sea gulls, crabs, raccoons and other pitfalls. Only 50% make it to the sea.

the size of your palms when they hatch make a desperate dash for the sea currents and waves dolphins, fish, sharks and killer whales Resting on flotsam	The 400 sea turtles that make it into sea have to face the powerful waves and  repelling currents. Baby sea turtles often stay under the shelter of flotsam or seaweed floating on the surface. Dolphins, fish and sharks will also find baby turtles a delicious meal. Meanwhile the small turtles mainly consist of squid and small fish.	The 400 sea turtles that make it into sea have to face the powerful waves and  repelling currents.
