i know more of us know the turtles lay eggs on land. It is because eggs mostly laid on warm areas. The water is make up of cold particles which maintains the temperature on what marine animals need. But it is not the main reason. The baby inside the egg is a mammal. it will not live cause it don't know how to swim yet. It will drown.
