Sea Turtles are one of the few animals which will swim thousands of miles in our oceans only to end back up on the beach which they were born. This jouney brings them back "to home" upon which they lay their eggs for the next generation.
In the picture below, if you look closely, you will see the "tracks" from the momma sea turtle as she pulled herself up on the beach to lay her eggs. Then you can see her tracks again as she headed back out into the gulf. For a Sea Turtle, this is a huge undertaking as they were not designed to be able to "walk" on land. The hours it takes for her to craw up the beach, dig a deep nest, lay her 80+ eggs, bury the eggs, and then craw back o the water.... only to never know if her efforts would pay off.
