Heroes In Alf Shell
When it’s time for the female pawican to have her children crawls from the shore towards dry sand and where she digs a nest to lay a hundred or more eggs. Observes have reported seeing tears flow from the female pawicans eyes as she lays here eggs. After she finishes lying her clutch, she will carefully cover her nest with sand and crawl back to the ocean, returning after another years to bear more children.
Turtle eggs fall prey to human poachers and animals predators during the two-month incubation period. Once they hatched, the turtle hatching’s have to dodge predators such as crabs, sea gulls, vultures, dogs, and ants on their journey to the sea. They often mistake the lights of buildings for the moon and crawl in the wrong direction. The few that make it to the sea survive the predators there will return once again to the beach where they were born to lay their own eggs.
What the hatching’s do and where they go during their early years in the open sea remains a mystery. Some turtle conservation programs have begun putting satellite tags on the Adults Sea turtles so they can track where the turtles go. However, there still no device that can be put on the babies without making them sink.
