Prepare a short note on sea turtle with the help of the information given in the passage
Answers
Answer:
Sea Turtles lay their nest along the coastline. They perform an important function in marine ecology. They keep the sea clean. There are seven types of sea turtles in the world. The Olive Ridley, Green turtles and Hawksbills this three species are a part of the Maharashtrian coastline. When the female turtle reaches maturity at the age of fifteen years, she comes out of the water and builds a shallow nest to lay her eggs in and leaves to never come back. There are at least hundred to one hundred fifty eggs in one nest. The eggs hatch after a period of forty-five to fifty days, using the natural heat and warmth of the sun and the sand. After hatching, these hatchlings rush to the water to go back to their homes in the sea. The survival rate is very low. Only one or two turtles survive out of thousands. Recently, their species have become endangered since the eggs are often stolen and then eaten or sold in the market. Thus, it has become ecessary to protect these turtles.
