 Doctors classify chronic nail biting as a type of obsessive-compulsive disorder since the person has difficulty stopping.
 People often want to stop and make multiple attempts to quit without success.
 People with onychophagia cannot stop the behavior on their own, so it's not effective to tell a loved one to stop.

In some cases, nail biting can be caused by an underlying mental health condition. 
For example, chronic nail biting may be a sign of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD causes you to use repetitive,
 compulsive behaviors to ease the anxiety caused by obsessive, intrusive thoughts.

It's a dangerous time in a young turtle's life How many hatchlings survive loggerhead sea turtles? Only about  one in 1,000  turtles survive to adulthood. Hatchlings die of dehydration if they don't make it to the ocean fast enough. Birds, crabs, and other animals also prey on the young turtles. Where do turtle hatchlings go? Every sea turtle begins life in the same way. It hatches  within its buried nest , forces its way to the surface, and sprints towards the water past a gauntlet of crabs, birds and other predators. Many die, but they emerge in such numbers that there are plenty of survivors. They dive beneath the waves… and disappear
