Sea turtles do not have an easy start to life from the minute they hatch. The baby turtles have to break out of their shell, dash across sand to find safety and food in the water-- and all this with hopes that they will not be eaten by a predator.
從孵化的那一刻起，海龜的生活就變得異常艱辛。小海龜必須要打破龜殼，沖過沙灘，到水里去尋求安全和食物--前提是它們沒有被捕食者吃掉。
Fortunately, scientists may have found a way to help. New research in the Journal of Experimental Biology shows that having many siblings helps baby turtles. In larger crowds, each turtle uses less energy to dig and hence has a higher chance of surviving the journey.
所幸的是，科學家可能找到了幫助它們的辦法。《實驗生物學》雜志上的研究表明擁有多個兄弟姐妹對小海龜很有利。在一個大家族中，每只小海龜都能省點挖掘的力氣，這樣它們就更有可能通過這段旅程。
