    Female sea turtles lay their eggs in holes in the sand to protect them from predators. The flexible eggs can survive the drop into the nest or ocean without breaking. If the turtles hatch at night, most will make it safely to the water, but if during the day, predators will eat most of them. Lights from the street can cause baby turtles to become disoriented, which consequently means they may become dehydrated or be eaten.
