Caption: Sea turtles spend most of there day in the water. Female sea turtles will return when they are ready to hatch there eggs. When they come on the land they dig a nest with there flippers. After digging they bury the clutch of eggs and they leave to the ocean. When they are hatched they hurry fast to the ocean at night and hope to survive. Survival rate for these baby turtles is very low they have an obstacle course to go through not only due to birds eating them but they have to go through all the trash and plastic that is lying on the beach.

Caption: Sea turtles also have been endangered due to oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico and other places in the ocean around the world.
