Are there good beaches in North Cyprus for turtle-watching?
Some of the best sea turtle nesting beaches are on North Cyprus! In May, the female turtles lay their eggs in the sand, and two months later, their tiny hatchlings make a dash for the sea. See my next Links answer for a good article on turtle-watching in North Cyprus. The best way to see turtles is to join the Society for the Protection of Turtles (SPOT) at Alagadi Turtle Beach, where you can watch the turtles and support their conservation at the same time.

How do leather back sea turtles take care of their babies?
They don't. Sea turtles of all species do not care for their babies. Pregnant females locate a safe beach, usually the beach they were born on, and come ashore at night. They dig a hole in the sand with their hind flippers and lay their eggs in the hole, then they cover the eggs in sand. The turtles then pack the sand down by belly-flopping on it several times, and after that, they move around in circles to scatter the sand and make it difficult for predators to follow their footprints. If there are many turtles in the area, they will most likely skip the circling step. After that, they leave. They will return next year to lay more eggs, but they do not care what happens to the baby turtles. Baby turtles climb out of the sand and dash for the water. Many of them will be eaten by predators on the way there, and few baby turtles survive the year. Very few sea turtles reach adulthood. Once they reach the water, they scatter out into the ocean. Their mother will likely never see her babies, and she would not recognize them if she did. She does not consider caring for the babies, as this is not an instinct sea turtles have. As a general rule, reptiles do not care for their young beyond laying the eggs in a safe place. There are a very few exceptions.
How does a spotted turtle raise its babys?
Turtles don't care for their young. They just lay their eggs in a hole in the sand near the beach and never even see their young.
How long do sea turtles stay with there parents after they are born?
A mature female see turtle nests every two to four years, after mating at sea, she makes her way across the beach and digs a nest 16 to 20 inches deep, with her hind flippers. She will leave 50 to 250 eggs (depending on the species) in the nest which she re-covers with sand, once she is done depositing her eggs, she will have up to 8 nests per mating season. She returns to the sea after nesting, leaving the eggs untended. The hatchling sea turtles instinctively head to the ocean shortly after emerging from the nest.
