Today , there are seven of sea turtles

with the largest being the leatherback . Growing as long as eight feet and weighing up to 2 , 000 pounds , it is larger than known fossils of its prehistoric , the padillai . Sea turtles can lay more than 150 eggs at a time . Called the clutch , these large egg deposits help ensure the survival of sea turtle hatchlings . Once a female her eggs , she returns to the sea , leaving her hatchlings to fend for themselves . Fewer than . 1% of hatchlings to adulthood in part due to numerous predators on the beach .

Emerging in large numbers increases the chance that some will survive . ( waves crashing ) A sea turtle's sex is determined by temperature . Unlike most vertebrates , a turtle's sex is not determined by sex chromosomes . Instead , the temperature of the nest determines the sex of the hatchlings .

( mellow music ) Sea turtles use Earth's magnetic fields to navigate . Sea turtles have geomagnetic abilities which serve as an internal GPS . The have particles of magnetite , a magnetic mineral , in their brains . The magnetite likely plays a role in orienting sea turtles to Earth's magnetic poles , similar to a compass . Baby sea turtles imprint on the unique magnetic signature of the beaches where they hatch . This magnetic map can them back to the same beaches several years later

to lay their own eggs . ( mellow music ) All seven sea turtle species are with extinction . Once abundant , sea turtle populations have dramatically declined in the past two centuries . Fishing is a major threat to sea turtles as they caught in fishing nets as bycatch , or accidental catch . Illegal harvesting of turtle eggs , trafficking in turtle products , and ocean pollution are also concerns . , policies have been enacted to reduce bycatch , protect turtle habitats , and prohibit the killing of sea turtles and their eggs .
