The Back Story:
Sea Turtle - (Cheloniidae family)
All species of sea turtles are endangered; it is illegal to harm, or in any way interfere with, a sea turtle or its eggs. They are strong and graceful swimmers, propelled underwater by their long, paddle-like front flippers, streamlined body and webbed feet. They can cruise up to several miles-per-hour. Sea turtles are found in coastal bays and lagoons in warm and temperate waters throughout the world. Some populations nest and feed in the same general area, while others are known to migrate through open seas for hundreds of miles between nesting and feeding grounds. When females come ashore to lay eggs, they travel awkwardly up the beach—usually the same beach on which they hatched themselves—to lay from 70 to 190 eggs in a hole they dig with their hind flippers.
