Turtle

We have a lot of fame in our group of reptiles that are on the coast of Mexico. One of the most famous reptiles we have in our coast are sea turtles, as they reach our shores each year 10 of the 11 different varieties of sea turtles.
Sea turtles are found in all oceans in tropical and temperate waters. While on earth are slow, the water is very fast, agile and are excellent swimmers apart.

Sea turtles can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour in the water. During the breeding season is very commonly seen on beaches and sandy shores in large groups that are burying their eggs that are incubated with the ambient temperature. After 45 to 65 days the fry (baby turtles) hatch and come to the surface of the sand.
 
They go very quickly to the sea. Very few baby turtles survive (depending on the situation they face). Your destination can be any of these situations: they eat other fish, the capture or survive.

The turtles may be carnivorous, herbivorous or omnivorous. Sea turtles are endangered by over-hunting or capture.
