The Hawksbill Sea Turtle has a very slow maturity and reproductive rate. They were also killed by humans, both intentionally and unintentionally. Mammals also raid their nests, making reproduction difficult.

Baby turtles have a very hard beginning of they're life. They will be constantly tested by nature to prove natural selection. meaing only the lucky and strong will make it, the others will be eaten by bigger animals including birds on theyre way to the ocean for the first time since birth.

The desert tortoise has the official status of 'threatened' but not endangered at this time (2014). If populations continue to decline, they could become endangered in the future, however.
