3 what are marine turtles? Reptiles who moved back from the land to the sea. Old species: living more than 250 million years on the planet! Migratory species: they are moving thousands of kilometers on their migration through the oceans. A species threatened to face extinction! AgA
4 ...this are marine turtles! Front-legs formed as flippers with one ore two claws. Hind-legs formed as steering-paddles. Steam-lined design of their shell. All extremities not retractable any more. All marine species have salt-glands near the eyes. MK
5 ...this are marine turtles! All species can live in the open ocean. The leatherback-turtle and the Olive Ridley turtle live manly in the open ocean. Only the females crawl out of the water for laying eggs.
6 Mating: (usually) at sea...the Reproduction! Deposition of the eggs: the females leave the sea at night and crawl up the beach way behind the high-tide-mark of the selected beach. Digging of the hole with the hind-flippers. They stop digging when they can't reach the bottom any more. Turtles cry on land to get rid of the surplus salt in their bodies.
7 ..the Reproduction! Egg-deposition in average all 3 years, but then 2 to 5 times a season. Duration of the egg- deposition: up to 30 minutes. Amount: 50 to 200 eggs per clutch. The hole is covered with sand afterwards and the exhausted female moves back to the sea.
8 ..the Reproduction! The young turtles hatch after 1 to 2½ months. The most dangerous part: crawling to the sea. Dangers? Dogs, cats, foxes, crabs, birds and other animals; light, sandcastles, vehicle tracks on the beach AgA AgA
9 ...the Reproduction! After hatching, the young turtles wait in the nest until dark. Then they all together crawl out of the nest and move as fast as possible to the water. AgA Loggerhead-hatchling Green-turtle-hatchling MK
10 ...threats! Artificial light (street lighting, flashlights, torches) attracts the hatchlings magically. So they can't find the sea any more! AgA AgA
11 Biggest danger: humans!..threats! Harvesting of nests: In 1936, 36 millions of eggs were harvested in Indonesia! Up to date especially in SE-Asia and South-America thousands of nests annually! Markus Keller In the Mediterranean, nestrobbing is now rare. But: Foxes, homeless dogs and cats, crabs and other animals are searching for turtle-eggs as food!
12 ..threats! Long-line-fishing: a massive danger for turtles. International hunting: food tortoiseshell prawn-fisheries: Annually over ten thousand fatalities as by catch. Plastic garbage for turtles a fatal food source! and the rubbish dumped in the sea is getting more and more!
