Sea turtles have been around ever since the early Jurassic times. If you want to know the sea turtles life cycle then I suggest you keep on reading this. It all starts with there mum and dad as you can see this picture it shows you how their life cycle works but does it tell you how? So i'm here to tell you about them we will start of with what happens to the eggs. Well the egg’s are a size of a ping pong ball and there is over 1000 eggs, They all get buried in the sand by its mother then their mother shuffles away in the water. It takes 45-55 days for them to hatch. 800 eggs hatch out of 1000 400 make there way out of the buried sand 200 make it to the water without getting eaten 20 make it through to being an adult. When the baby sea turtles hatch they are the size of the palm of your hand. If you are wondering what they eat well i'm about to tell you they eat kowp. So when the baby sea turtles grow up a little bit they are called juveniles and when they are a teenager they are called sub-adults and when they get older they are called adults, Then they can go out on the sand and breath fresh air. When they are an adult they are the size of a medium table compared to the palm of your hand. Sea turtles don't eat much because they are really low on the food chain.
