- Under the cover of night, a sea turtle digs a hole on a tropical beach and lays her eggs in the sand before returning to the ocean. With each tide, the hatchlings grow until they are strong enough to emerge, climb to the surface and race to water. So begins the treacherous journey that is the life of a sea turtle-a perilous world filled with animal predators and even hazards created by humans.
- The life cycle of one specific sea turtle is shown. It begins with its mother making the bittersweet act of burying her eggs a few meters away from the shore on the beach knowing that she will never see her babies and that they will have to fend for themselves. Even before the eggs hatch, the new turtles are under constant threat from predators, the hatchlings instinctively knowing that they have a better chance of surviving the dangerous trek from the nest to the water under the relative cover of darkness, with only the moonlight showing them the way. While many of its brothers and sisters do not survive to this point, this one turtle does, thrives in the ocean living symbiotically with some other sea creatures, while still managing to avoid being eaten by predators. It ends up mating eventually to make the trek up the beach as its mother did to find a place to lay its eggs.—Huggo
