Hawksbill turtles swim thousands of miles to nest

Hawksbill sea turtles embark on incredible journeys, swimming thousands of ocean miles to return to the very beaches where they hatched to lay their own eggs. These critically endangered reptiles, recognized by their distinctive hawk-like beak and colorful shells, navigate vast distances using Earth's magnetic field and the sun. Some individuals travel over 6,200 miles from feeding grounds to nesting sites.
