how a sea turtle grows into a adult

The Life Cycle starts when the mother lays 50-200 leathery ping pong ball- sized eggs

Eventually the eggs will hatch into baby  sea turtles, the size of the palm of your hand. As they squirm to the water while dodging crabs, gulls ,raccoons and others predators.until they get to the sea.When they get to sea they trade one batch of predators for another they face sharks,dolphins, big fish and seagulls as they come up to breath, and take cover under a small patch of floating seaweed or flotsam for the next several months, the tiny sea turtles try to avoid what may eat them, and not fall to the pressure of challenging and unlucky currents

ultimately the survivors will grow to adulthood over the the next several years the only worrisome predators are the large species of sharks and the odd killer whale at about twenty years the survivors will breed and carry on the life cycle that the very existence heralds.

overall

1000 eggs are laid

800 hatch

400 make it to water

200 make adult age

20 survive without human interference

2 survive with human interference

so a breeding sea turtle is a miracle
