Sea turtles are ancient marine reptiles that have inhabited the oceans for over 100 million years, navigating vast distances using specialized flippers. While they spend most of their lives submerged, they must surface to breathe air. Females return to sandy beaches to lay eggs, with hatchlings making a dangerous journey to the ocean to begin their life.
