Patterns Affecting Sea Turtles

Nature often causes sea turtles to strand. Shark attacks can damage the turtle's carapace. They can also damage the flippers and can even kill the turtles. In my opinion, sharks can damage the turtles in many different unbelievable ways. For example, if the shark damages the turtle’s flippers, the turtle won’t be able to swim therefore stranding. Cold stunning is the hypothermic reaction that occurs when sea turtles are exposed to cold water temperatures for a long time. It paralyzes the body because the change in temperature and water is too sudden and they can’t handle it. Cold stunning can damage the sea turtles in many ways. For example, the turtles can get sick, their heart rate decreases as well as their circulation and lethargy. They
can even go into shock, get pneumonia, and it can even cause death. In conclusion, nature such as shark attacks and cold stunning can cause sea turtles heinous injuries, making them strand.
