How does the loggerhead sea turle nest?

Loggerhead sea turtles typically nest on sandy beaches at night, usually returning to the same location where they hatched. A female will dig a nest using her flippers, laying an average of 100 to 120 eggs, which she covers with sand to protect them from predators. After nesting, she returns to the sea, leaving the eggs to incubate for about 60 days before they hatch, with the hatchlings making their way to the ocean.
