| Do you know what marine biology is? Marine Biology is a field of science that studies aquatic animals and plants in their natural environments. When people study in this field they have to like to be outdoors. | This lady below is a Marine Biologist. She is looking at turtle eggs. These eggs will hatch into baby turtles. Some of these turtles may survive to be adults, but first they must make it to the sea. How they get to the sea is another question indeed; How do the baby turtles make it to the sea? I'll tell you: first they have to make it out of their shell, which are underneath the ground. Then they have to crawl to the sea, but they might get eaten by birds. |
