Facts About Sea Turtle Navigation

Sea turtles travel thousands of miles across open ocean basins using magnetic fields generated by Earth to find their way back to their hatching beaches. Their streamlined body structure helps them glide efficiently through water currents without expending excess energy. Large front flippers function like oars, propelling the turtle forward over vast distances.
