Babies+and+eggs

Baby sea turtles have less than 1% chance of living to maturity. The hatchlings are in danger of being eaten by a coyote,a racoon,a fox,a feral pig or a bird.
All turtles lay thier eggs on land. In Florida there are about 16,000 leatherback sea turtles hatched each year. When a female lays her eggs she lays up to 200 eggs at a time.The female digs a hole in the ground with her back feet. She lays the eggs and then covers them so they can mature and hatch.
