Incredible Moment World's Largest Sea Turtle Emerges From The Sea (Pics & Video)

During nesting season, the turtles climb up out of the sea to dig a nest, and laying their eggs in the sand near the water to safely hatch and repopulate their species. Upon the hatching of the eggs, the new baby sea turtles are at a close enough to the ocean to scuttle away and begin their lives. Remember this though: those babies take an unbelievable 15 to 20 years to reach adulthood. Right now, century-old turtles presumably exist on this planet, and if you saw one, you might not even be able to recognize it.
