In late spring, huge sea turtles crawl
onto a beach in florida . each turtles digs
a nest in the sand . the mother turtle
then lays about 100 eggs .two months
later, tiny turtles hatch .
The Young turtles crawl out
of their holes and
into the ocean
LONG TRIP
The tiny turtles set out
on a long trip . they swim
across the atlantic ocean
and back again . the trip
takes between five and ten
years . the trip is thousands
of miles long .
scientists wanted to know
how the turtles made their
way across the ocean .
to find out scientists put
''bathing suits'' on some
Young sea turtles . the
suits were tied to special
machines . the machines
can follow how the turtles
swim .
THINK ABOUT IT
¿how long will it take for
a Young turtle to swim
across the atlantic ocean?
RESPUETA :
the trip across the Atlantic takes five to ten years
A LONG TRIP :
helps us know how are you turtles lay their eggs
and later as young hatch to small
go into the sea
THINK ABOUT IT
known to us as the turtles begin their journey
