Sea Turtles By Kelly Jean Sullivan

• Most sea turtles live their whole life alone, only interacting with others when it's time to mate.
• Baby sea turtles sleep floating on the surface of the water with their fins behind their back.
• Jellyfish are the main source of food for flatback, leatherback and olive ridley sea turtles.
• Baby sea turtles dig their way out of the nest and rush to the water at night
