| Notes |
- Notes - This female turtle, estimated to be about 400 years old, has just laid her eggs. After doing so, she utters a shrill cry and sheds a tear.
Generally, the turtle lays eggs at night between 9:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. although at times they lay much earlier or even later. Usually, however, they go up the shore during high tide in the evening. Moonlight does not seem to affect the process so that on moonlight nights, numerous turtles are observed crawling on the white sand, their shells shining as they move arouund.
