Nesting / breeding | |||
| Depending on where the green turtle live and what the diet consists of it takes between 25 to 50 years before it breeds first time. Both male and female green sea turtles will migrate from their feeding grounds to the courtship areas. |  | ||
 | These areas are located close to the nesting beaches where the turtles where first hatched. Some turtles actually live close to a courtship area, but it's interesting that they often will migrate to another courtship area, even though it means they have to travel a great distance to reach it. | ||
| The Green sea turtle reproduce in the same way that other sea turtles do. When the female turtle leaves the sea she drags herself up the beach until she finds a suited place for a nest. She then uses her back flippers to dig a hole where she deposits her eggs. | 1 2 3 | ||
