Over 150 million years ago, along with the dinosaurs, there lived a species of sea turtles. They have managed to survive longer than many other animals from the Jurassic period. However, only 10% of sea turtles live to breeding age. Now that humans have come along, only 1% of all sea turtles survive to breed the new generation of baby sea turtles.
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 and avoid what may try to 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.
