because so many of them get eaten by preditors * edit** This may be right, but you are still missing the biggest mystery. They are so fat all they do is drown in the water.
No, only female turtles have the reproductive anatomy to lay eggs. Male turtles do not lay eggs; instead, they fertilize the eggs that are laid by the females.
turtles usually lay about 24 to 32 eggs Yeah but they're asking a specific turtle so wouldn't the number change do you think?
they lay there eggs in the sand but so nobody can break them they make a hole and then they lay them and cover them.
If turtles lay eggs underwater, the eggs will not survive as they require oxygen to develop properly. Turtles typically lay their eggs on land in a nest to ensure the eggs have access to oxygen and the right conditions for incubation.
so they can lay eggs and their eggs can walk to the sea.
The main reason why they do that is because not many turtles survive in the wild. So the female turtle must lay a lot of eggs at a time to make sure that even though most of the turtles will not survive in the wild, some will survive.
No, only female red eared sliders lay eggs.
Idk so y dont u tell me? in the sand
Tides are controlled by the moon. The high tide gives the deepest water, allowing the turtle to move as far inland as possible, so that eggs are laid ABOVE the high water mark- otherwise, they won't hatch.
A LOT... it can be from 25- about 100 most don't make it though which is why so many are made
yea they only go the beach to lay there eggs then go back to the ocean............ the baby's care for themselves
Turtles typically take 1-3 hours to lay eggs, but this can vary depending on factors like the species of turtle, environmental conditions, and the turtle's health. Factors that can affect the time it takes for turtles to lay eggs include the availability of suitable nesting sites, temperature, and stress levels.
