Introduction

During late spring and summer, female Loggerhead Sea Turtles leave the ocean only to lay eggs.

After dragging herself up onto Edisto Beach, she hollows out a pit with her back flippers and deposits an average of 100 eggs the size of ping pong balls.

When the last egg is laid, she covers the eggs with sand and flings more sand about with her flippers to erase any signs of the nest.

After about two months, monitored closely, the hatchling turtles emerge at night to go back into the sea.
