When female turtles lay their eggs, they often return to the beach they were born on or a dessertad beach they have found. Often the eggs are laid on high ground or just above see level. This is so the eggs are safe from predators like sharks. Unfortunatly once the eggs hatch they are at risk of birds and crabs eating them. Another adaption, once the eggs are hatched, the young baby turtles heaad straight to the water in hopes to get into the water to find their mother. Additionally the first thing the newborn turtles do is dive down to eat seaweed. Most turtles chose what kind of seaweed or sea plant they eat, however most tutles preffer to stick to seaweed.
