Read the excerpt from "To Save a Turtle."
"It's a mother," she whispered. They all crouched down
in the sand and watched. The mother turtle was digging
a nest. Five or ten minutes later, the nest was ready,
and she began laying her eggs. There were about a
hundred of them, and each one was the size of a table
tennis ball. When she finished laying her eggs, she
used her flippers to bury them in the sand. Then, she
rocked her body on the sand to pack it down. When
she was finished, she slowly walked across the beach
to the water. The volunteers watched as the sea turtle
slipped into the water and swam away.
