sea turtes

sea turtles have a shell that you would think it's brown but it's green. sea turtles lay eggs so here's how it goes:the sea turtle female comes on shore and makes an egg chamber to lay her eggs in then she lays her eggs then she leaves her babies because sea turtle males and females don't take care of there eggs/babies. Anyways then after a while the eggs hatch. Then it takes the hatchling 3 days   to get out of the hole  they where layed into then the hatchling hast to make there way out in the sea then a knew life cycle begins again. The female lays a clutch of 100 to 150 eggs the eggs are the size of a golf ball.The hatchilings use this tooth they have called the  egg tooth to break out of there egg the egg tooth goes away after a while.Sea turtles well to me are really cool1!
