About Hawksbill Turtles
Marine turtles have outlived almost all prehistoric animals, having survived in the ocean for over 100 million years. Though hawksbill turtles live in water and can hold their breath for several hours they still need to surface to breathe as they have lungs, just like us. Surprisingly, female turtles return to the beach where they were born to lay their eggs, even if it is thousands of miles away.
