turtle laying process
Turtles experience various egg-laying cycles, from every 2 - 8 years. While male turtles spend their entire lives at sea, females occasionally stop by land to lay their eggs. Female turtles like sandy beaches that are devoid of humans and sources of noise and light as a place to lay their hundreds of eggs, in holes dug with their hind legs. When landing to lay eggs, disturbances in the form of light or sound can make the turtle give up and return to the sea. Turtles also use the earth's magnetism as an aid to return to their hometown when they are still hatchlings, and return when they are adults to lay eggs.
Turtles that hatch in Indonesian coastal waters are found around the Hawaiian islands. Turtles are known to be unfaithful to their birthplace.
Not a lot of regeneration produced by a turtle. Of the hundreds of eggs laid by a female turtle, at most only a dozen hatchlings (baby turtles) make it back to the sea and grow up. This also does not take into account the factor of hunting by humans and natural predators such as crabs, birds and mice on the beach, as well as large fish once the hatchlings touch deep waters.
