Green Turtles

 GREEN TURTLE  We got this education at Nungwi, area found at Zanzibar. Islands worldwide are known as Turlte island due to green turtles nesting on their beaches. The green turtles become sexually mature at 10 to 50 years . After hatching adult sea turtles reach sexual maturity are able to mate. A green turtle's life cycle starts when a female lay's her eggs on beach generally in the area where they were born. In general green turtles lay their first clutch of eggs about three to six weeks after mating.A female turtle can lay up to 200 eggs during night.After laying her eggs the mother turtle's work  is done, and she never return to tend it,so young green turtles must survive on their own.After about two months the baby sea turtles hatch,and the hatchling make their way to the water. Once the baby sea turtles hatch they must make their way to the water.The temperature of the nest during incubation determines the sex of hatchling.  Warm,dark sand produces mostly females.Egg
