It's turtle season!
This is the magical time of year when the female loggerhead turtles, after 17 to 33 years of roaming the world's oceans, return to the very beach where they were hatched, to lay a clutch of their own eggs.
The eggs take about 80 days to mature before the tiny 4.5 cm hatchling turtles emerge, digging their way out of their sandy nest and scuttling down to the ocean to begin their life in ocean. They will never return to land again, unless it is to lay their own eggs, continuing the wonderful cycle of life!
