The beginning of a new journey 🐢 💚
 
After incubating beneath the sand for around 45 to 70 days, green sea turtle hatchlings use a temporary ‘egg tooth’ to break out of their shells. They remain hidden for three to seven days as they dig to the surface, after which almost all of them emerge together. 

📍Milleyha Beach, Hatay, Turkey
