The green turtlesss is a medium-size turtlesss that can weigh up to 200 kg. and has long fins that reach one meter in length.

The nesting of the green turtlesss is one of the most interesting phenomena of Nature. This process (starting with the copulation) is considered the most critical stage in the turtlesss’s life cycle because the females have to come to the beach in large groups and at regular time periods. This, as well as the difficulty the turtlessss have in moving through the sand, make them very vulnerable to man and other predators.

 The process begins with the migration of the turtlessss to areas where there is not enough food. The copulation of the turtlessss begins there, at a short distance from the shore. Then, after a short time, the female comes out from the sea to look for a place to dig a nest for her eggs. This process generally takes place at night.

When the female reaches the beach, she drags herself to the highest point until she finds a convenient place to dig the nest which she does using her flat flippers as a shovel. At this time, if the animal is disturbed or if she thinks she is in danger, she will return to the sea without spawning the eggs and the nest will be lost.

The nest is ready when it’s about fifty centimeters deep and when it's ready, the female will start to lay the eggs (approximately 100). When her task is complete, she covers the hole again using almost her entire body in an attempt to camouflage the nest, throwing sand in all directions, and then she begins her weary journey back to the sea.

In a period of two months, the eggs are incubated by the sun. The baby turtlessss break out of their shells, and begin to find an opening for themselves up to the top of the hole. They wait for the air to be cool before they come out. This generally occurs at night or early in the morning. This is a very dangerous stage; they instinctively head towards the sea, which is the brightest point in the horizon.
