Sea Turtles Summary in English

There are seven species of turtles in the world. Five in India’s coastal water Olive Rid seen all along our coasts. Between January to March female Olive Ridleys come ashore their eggs. They will prey to crabs or birds even before they reach the water. If we systematically tackle their problem and remove the threats, we can ensure their lives.

Sea Turtles Summary in Tamil
