The picture delineates the life cycle of sea turtles.
Overall, there are 3 main stages involved in this cyclical process, commencing with mature turtles laying eggs, followed by the growth of adult turtles through various stages. This process repeats when turtles fully develop and fertilize in order to lay eggs again.
To begin with, female adult turtles spawn a massive number of eggs covered under the sand, after which they hatch into newborn turtles after 8 to 10 weeks. Next, they start to enter the ocean for food searching and consistently grow in size for 5 to 20 years. The developmental migration appears when they are about 30 to 50 years old, at which point the immature and adult turtles move to shallow areas along the seasides where the male turtles migrate and return to while the female turtles forage and stay in the mating area.
The process continues with the fertilization of turtles occuring in the shallow water areas, and then the females create the nesting areas, over 2 week intervals, the males shift between the foraging area and the nesting area. Once the incubation process has finished for many weeks, the hatchlings are born, and the cycle repeats itself.
