Turtles begin life as hatchlings emerging from eggs in nests
After hatching, they make a perilous journey to water, facing various predators.
Young turtles grow rapidly in aquatic habitats, building strength and survival skills.
Maturing turtles transition to the sub-adult stage, refining their abilities and exploring different habitats.
Adult turtles are sexually mature, play important ecological roles, and contribute to the species' survival through reproduction.
