Sea turtles lived on this planet as early as 250 million years ago and are reptiles that have survived to this day in the same generation as the dinosaurs. They are now the world's largest marine reptiles, no gills, sea turtles in the sea can only rely on lungs to breathe.

Although sea turtles live in the ocean, they must crawl onto land beaches to lay their eggs and hatch, which take about 40-70 days to hatch out.

As soon as they emerge from their shells, baby sea turtles crawl to the ocean, where they live and grow. How can sea turtles find their birthplace without getting lost?

It turns out that young sea turtles have the instinct to head in the direction between magnetic north and magnetic east, which means that newly hatched turtles are able to sense the Earth's magnetic field and are able to determine the direction in which they are crawling based on it.
