Turtles in Oman

Today we had a visit from a turtle specialist Ms. Maya.  We learned so much from Mrs. Maya like female turtles lay over 100 eggs on the sand!  We also know that turtles do not breathe under water and can hold their breath for an hour.  In Oman, sea turtles can be seen in many places on the coast.  A lot of us have even seen them in person.  They lay their eggs, cover them with sand, and two months later the eggs hatch and out pop baby turtles!  Thank you Mrs. Maya for joining us today and teaching us all about turtles in Oman.
