Loggerhead sea turtles live in the ocean and nest on the Florida coast. The female loggerhead sea turtle lays more than 100 eggs in the sand on a beach. How is laying so many eggs an important adaptation that helps these turtles survive?

• Large nests of eggs help keep the eggs warm enough to allow more turtles to hatch.

• If many turtles hatch, they can help defend each other against predators in large numbers.

• The more eggs that are laid, the greater the chance that more turtles will live to become adults.

• A large number of eggs in one place makes it possible for the mother to lie on the eggs until they hatch.
