The LIFE CYCLE of SEA TURTLES | The Journey from Hatchling to Adulthood

Join sea turtle biologist, Leah, to learn more about the different stages of the sea turtle life cycle. From their tough journey as hatchlings with a 1 in a 1000 chance of survival to returning as a female to lay the eggs,
Life Cycle (full circle):
🐢 Nesting female lays 3-5 nests a season
🐢 They eggs take 45-60 days to develop
🐢 Hatchlings emerge together and set out to sea
🐢 Find a safe, protective food-filled habitat for the first years of their life
🐢 Lost years of the juvenile sea turtles
🐢 Once adults, mate and if female, return to the same beach or a nearby beach to lay eggs
📷 The photos of the mating loggerhead sea turtles in the video were taken by Brandi Driggers. These mating loggerheads were spotted in the spring of 2022 off the coast of Edisto Beach, South Carolina.

One night I was lucky enough to witness a nest of green sea turtles hatching! We had to turn our lights off so the turtles didn’t get confused and drawn to our lights but as my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I was rewarded with an experience I will never forget. Everytime I am lucky enough to see a turtle it fills me with so much joy and I can’t help but get emotional. They’re awesome little creatures! 🐢

That is amazing, thanks for sharing! It is such an incredible and unforgettable experience. Where did you see the green sea turtles emerge? 🐢

[@SharkLover23937]

On a beach in Queensland Australia. The sand started to move and then an explosion of little baby turtles came rushing out of the sand, it was incredible!

I really wish that all baby sea turtles would make it to the ocean🌊 without getting eaten cause not only 1 can survive to adulthood all the time❤❤❤❤❤👍

I know it is tough and difficult to think about sometimes, but they are also an important food source to other species.
