Most Female Turtles Will Choose A Strategic Place ..

Most female turtles will choose a strategic place on the beach or a nesting bank, and then proceed to lay their eggs in a hole that they dig.

Then, right after that until they hatch, the turtle hatchlings will be on their own, with no mother to care for them.

Adaptation to this behaviour allows turtles to lay many eggs. In fact, some marine turtle species can lay more than 10 clutches of eggs in a single nesting season!
