BEST-BEST-BEST EVER HATCH SHOT
Hatching
Sea turtles hatch throughout the year but mostly in summer.
Hatchlings use a carbuncle (temporary egg tooth) to help break open the shell.
After hatching, the young turtles may take three to seven days to dig their way to the surface.
Hatchlings usually wait until night to emerge from the nest.
Emerging at night reduces exposure to daytime predators. They leave the nest and head to the water in groups. Studies have shown that some nests will produce hatchlings on more than one night.
