Turtles are endangered Species that have been around for 150 million years .It takes 20 years for a turtle to become a breeding adult.
First a female turtle goes up high up on beach.She lays between 50-200 eggs.She digs a hole deep in the sand lays she eggs. Then covers the egg with sand. The eggs are white and they feel rubbery and lethery and they are the size of a ping pong ball. After 6 weeks the eggs hatch.
After eating tiny fish and jellyfish for 4 years. They start to slowly ingrece thier size. But they have to Because it is just like if they dont eat jellyfish or tiny fish.Because they can not eat plastic coz it bad for them.
They form into a dinner plate and then to a dinner table. When they are older and are nearly an adult they will be collecting up food especially when it is winter.
When the turtles turn into adults they lay more eggs high up on a beach where it was born..
That was a sad journey of growing up as a turtle since they suffer from many threts and they have to risk it just to make it to an adults or just to survive.which means 90% of turtles die each year.
So lets look at the numbers using maths
1000 eggs are laid,
800 hatch,
400 make it to the warter,
200 get to adulthood,
20 survive breeding age that is without human interference,
2 survive breeding age with human interference.

It was a awesome story.
I liked how you did recap a sea turtles life cycle.
I think you need to work on more punctuation in your story but there is nothing else you need to work on. Otherwise it is good.

Hi Maia! My name is Mia from Yaldhurst Model School and this is a awesome blog post, it has lots of factual information and I learnt a lot. 50-200 eggs is a lot! but it's sad that not all of them survive.
ReplyDeleteI think that you should reread this because there are a couple spelling mistakes. Despite all that it's an awesome blog! How long did it take you to do this blog post?
Awesome work!
