Description: Gives a detailed description of events in this turtle's life.
Baby loggerheads are a little larger than a fifty-cent piece.  They will easily fit in the palm of your hand. When the eggs hatch the turtles make their way to the surface in a group, then, (usually at night) they head toward the sea across the beach.  They emerge at night in response to cooler temperatures of the sand.  They head toward the ocean, attracted by the light reflected off the surf.  This is why it is so important to observe "Lights Out for Sea Turtles"!  Lights on the beach or along the shore can confuse the hatchlings and lead them in the wrong direction.
