Everything from footprints to driftwood and crabs are obstacles, though this gauntlet is important for its survival. Birds, raccoons, and fish are just a few of the predators these vulnerable creatures face; some experts say only one out of a thousand will survive to adulthood under natural conditions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eAfter an adult female sea turtle nests, she returns to the sea, leaving her nest and the eggs within it to develop on their own. The amount of time the egg takes to hatch varies among the different species and is influenced by environmental conditions such as the temperature of the sand. The hatchlings do not have sex chromosomes so their gender is determined by the temperature within the nest. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSea turtle hatchlings eat a variety of prey including things like mollusks and crustaceans, hydrozoans, sargassum sea weed, jellyfish, and fish eggs. Unfortunately, hatchlings also mistake garbage and objects like tar balls as food and ingest them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eHatchlings use the natural light horizon, which is usually over the ocean, along with the white crests of the waves to reach the water when they emerge from the nest. Any other light sources such as beachfront lighting, street lights, light from cars, campfires etc. can lead hatchlings in the wrong direction, also known as disorientation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOnce out of the nest, hatchlings face many predators including ghost crabs, birds, raccoons, dogs, and fish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
