Paragraph one
An adult sea turtle from the late Jurassic period, which was 150 000 000 years ago, climbs up a beach to lay 50 to 200 ping pong sized eggs. First she digs a huge hole, so that she can lay the eggs. Sadly, in theory, 20% don’t hatch.
Paragraph two
After 6 weeks, 800 leathery eggs hatch. The baby sea turtles are so small, they can fit in the palm of your hand. Then they start to crawl towards the water. Only 50% make it, because of the crabs and birds. Once they’re in the water, their next problem are big fish and whales.
Paragraph Three
As the recently hatched sea turtles slide into the water, new animals are after them. This includes different types of fish, sharks, dolphins and also whales. They are extremely cautious as they swim up to the surface to take a breath of fresh air. After a few months of swimming in the ocean, the sea turtles group together under a slimy patch of seaweed for shelter from their hunters. After a passage of years, the survivors increase their size. Roughly 50% of the sea turtles that made it into the water would perish. After a long time, the sea turtles are old enough to come to the surface to breed. 20% make it to the breeding age without human interference, and only 2 survive to breeding age with human interference.
Conclusion
They have been living for as long as 150 million years, since the late Jurassic, which is amazing. It was thought to be a long shot, but it’s instead a miracle.
