Sea turtles can live long, a lifespan of 80 years is feasible. But it takes decades for sea turtles to reach sexual maturity. After mating at sea, adult female sea turtles return to land to nest mostly at night. females return to the beach where they hatched. This can take place every two to four years in maturity. Incubation takes about two months. The eggs in one nest hatch together over a very short period of time. When ready, hatchlings tear their shells apart with their snout and dig through the sand. This usually takes place at night. Once they reach the surface, they instinctively head towards the sea. If, as happens on rare occasions, hatching takes place during daylight, only a very small proportion of each hatch succeed, because local predators, such as pelicans, seagulls and other large birds, gorge on sea turtles hatchlings. Sea Turtles Hatchlings filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2009.
