Female turtles come ashore at night, eggs incubate approximately 60 to 70 days later. Hatchlings emerge as a clutch and find their way into the oceans. This happens all year round for the various species. All of the turtles found in South Africa including loggerheads, leatherbacks, green turtles and hawksbill turtles, are classified as endangered on the IUCN red list.
