Celebrate with Save the…Turtles, and discover things like:
Which sea turtle is the largest turtle in the world? (The leatherback)
How do sea turtles navigate thousands of miles of open ocean to return to the beach where they were hatched? (We’re still figuring this out! But sunlight and the earth’s magnetic fields may play a role.)
How often does a sea turtle leave the water? (A female–just to lay her egg. A male–never after it reaches the water after hatching).
How can knocking down sandcastles, turning off lights, and reducing plastic waste help sea turtles? (Read the book to find out!)
