Swim, little turtles!

How cool are turtles? They struggle so desperately to make it in this world.
One out of a thousand eggs will manage to grow in the sand, without being dug up and eaten by dingoes and goannas.
One in a thousand will dig itself out of the sand and race down to the water's edge without being grabbed by a bird. One in a thousand baby turtles will make it into the water, where she will swim and grow for 25 years, without being eaten by a shark.
One in a thousand little turtles will grow enough to be able to fnd her way back to the very beach where her life started.
One in a thousand turtles will live to lay her very own eggs.
