How are sea turtles born?
Hatchling turtles break out of their eggs by the use of an egg tooth. The egg tooth is a very sharp, small, white tooth on the tip of the turtles beak. It is the only tooth that the turtle will ever have. The baby will break a hole though the tough egg wall and then rest for a bit. Soon the baby will be back at the job and will use the egg tooth to cut though the egg enough to crawl out. Or he might break open the egg and then choose to sit in his egg for a couple days before finally coming out. Once the baby has broken through the egg wall the egg tooth pops off.

How would you cut the umbilical cord off a snapping turtle?
"Snapping turtles are hatched from eggs so they do not have umbilical cords." I know they are hatched from eggs, but I saw a baby turtle that had something like an umbilicus in the middle of its bottom shell. So I looked it up on Google and found a few references to the umbilicus of a baby turtle. I imagine the umbilical cord would be a connection to something inside the egg- the yolk? which nourishes the baby. But I haven't found these details yet. Elizabeth A. Feigon
