'Outrun' with sea turtles

Appearing on the planet in front of humans for tens of millions of years, sea turtles are considered a symbol of longevity and independent lifestyle. Below are photos of the egg laying process of a sea turtle in Indonesia.

"Women" sea turtles spawn on a beach in Ujung Genteng reserve, west of Java island.

Turtles throw sand to cover egg nests after laying.

Conservation area staff recover turtle eggs for protection.

In the breeding season, each mother turtle lays an average of 5 eggs, each can have up to 500 fruits. Over 80% of the eggs in each litter of turtles successfully hatch. A turtle takes 30-50 years to reach adulthood, but one in 1,000 individuals survives to that stage.

The higher the temperature, the more female turtles in a nest. Scientists have learned how to take advantage of this feature to regulate turtle populations by gender by temperature.

Nature instinctively, baby turtles turn their heads towards the sea immediately after coming out of the eggshell to start wandering the ocean floor for at least 3 decades.

By adulthood, turtles will return to the right place where it was born to perform the function of maintaining the race. No scientist has ever given a satisfactory answer to the question: Why can turtles remember exactly where they were born?
