Blue Planet Coast

Sea turtles live in the ocean and also live on the coast, but only the females live on the coast if they are laying their eggs. The male will stay in the ocean all the time, they never come out of the water for anything. Female turtles in this movie laid their eggs on the coast of Australia. The mothers will lay thousands of eggs in the sand so they stay warm and predators wont eat them, they also spend all night making sure that the sand is covering the eggs and nothing can get them. The eggs will hatch within nine weeks. Birds will be waiting for the baby turtles to come out of the sand so they can eat them. About one- third of the baby turtles out of one nest will make it to the sea, but also when they make it to the sea other sea creatures are waiting to eat them, too. Now all the baby turtles put together that hatch is over two million hatchlings.
