Safari Ltd. | Life Cycle of a Green Sea Turtle

Green sea turtle eggs are buried in groups of 75 to 200. After two months, the hatchlings emerge and rush to the water, where they will spend the rest of their lives. Green sea turtles do not reach maturity until they are ten years old, but can live for up to 100 years.
