Right now everyone has heard about the dinosaurs. From kids to adults had seen pictures of them and a lot of people think that dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years before humans existed on earth. The view of the dinosaur is closely related to the theory of evolution.
The adherents understand evolution says that dinosaurs once lived on this earth between 65 to 230 million years ago. Dinosaurs are found only in three geologic column is: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous. Evolutionists call the three layers of soil with the name of the Mesozoic era. That is the time they give to the age of dinosaurs. According to them these creatures became extinct at the end of the Mesozoic era (Cretaceous). The theory of evolution teaches that dinosaurs are extinct approximately 65 million years before humans evolved.
The view of the theory of evolution is different from the scientists who believe in creation theory. Scientists who believe in creation theory argues that dinosaurs did not become extinct 65 million years ago, but live together with humans. Dinosaurs were created by God and not by evolution of reptiles.
History of Dinosaur Discovery
Their bones are very large when it was discovered in 1677 by Dr. Robert Plot. The bones were thought was a giant elephant bones. The first name given to these animals is Humanum scrotum. This happened two centuries before the name "dinosaur" is raised.
In 1822, Mary Anne Mantell walk on a highway in Sussex. By tradition, he found a bone that ditimpah sparkling sunshine, and took home the bones to show to her husband Dr. Gideon Mantell, English physician and amateur fossil hunters. Dr Mantell announces that bones have a tooth that is larger than modern reptiles. He concluded that this bone is the bone-eating reptile that became extinct with teeth like an iguana. In 1825, Dr. Mantell named the fossil Iguanodon (iguana tooth). Dr. Mantelllah who popularized era reptiles. In 1841 anatomical and paleontological England, Sir Richard Owen, who incidentally is the strongest opponent of Charles Darwin, found the word "dinosaur". Technically, referring to dinosaurs that resemble gigantic reptilian creatures that live on land rather than in water. This word means "terrible lizard". Tyrannosaurus rex jawbone, with teeth long 6 feet 6 inches in length, must match the name of the "terrible lizards".
Dinosaurs - Created or Evolve?
Since the discovery of Dr. Mantell, dinosaur fossils have been found in several continents of the world, from the far north as Alaska and as far south as Antarctica. The dinosaur was there in different sizes, shapes, and types. Fossils of dinosaurs is an interesting case study to prove the theory of evolution or creation. There are different types of dinosaurs. Some are small like the chicken and the other was very large so it weighs about 8 tons. Many of these dinosaurs have different bone structure than usual. Therefore, if dinosaurs evolved about 230 million years ago, starting a kind of reptile (according to the beliefs of evolutionists), then there must be thousands of intermediate beings. During this time, millions of dinosaurs lived and died. If the theory of evolution is true, museums can display thousands of transitional forms-dinosaur reptiles that can not be denied. If creation is true, every kind of dinosaur appears in the form of a ready-made from the very beginning created, there is no intermediate fossil species suggests that dinosaurs evolved from a single ancestor.
Dinosaur fossils show very clearly that any one type of dinosaur that was found in the form of intact, there is no evidence that these animals evolved from earlier species.
Brontosaurus, reconstruction errors
When we visited the world-class, we'll find plenty of evidence of dinosaurs. The bones and skulls have been dug from the earth and all living creatures showed enormous that ever lived on earth. But when the bones were arranged, scientists do not always make an accurate reconstruction. Everyone has heard or seen pictures Brontosaurus with a long neck, but not many people know that it is a mistake Brontosaurus. Scientists discovered that they had put the wrong head on fossil fossil wrong body too. Two researchers from Carnegie Institute has proven that Brontosaurus bones in 5 major museums, including the Carnegie museum itself, have put the wrong head. Both men, in 1979, the print media has been informed that the description given by Dr. O.C. Marsh, the famous fossil experts from Yale, according to the head bone is wrong.
In the article "Scientist Claim Brontosaurus Given Wrong Head" (Pittsburgh: Associated Press, October 10, 1979), Berman explained that Marsh actually found the skull using 3 or 4 miles away from his bones. But no one knows. Marsh did not explain in his article. There is no evidence that the skull has to do with Brontosaurus. You can check this in Marsh's Dinosaurs written by John H. Ostrom and John S. McIntosh (New Have, Connecticut: Yale University Press, 1966), page 244.
Then, after being given a new head on the creature's Brontosaurus more like Diplodocus. Head of wrong it's actually owned by the dinosaurs that have been discovered before the Apatosaurus. The conclusion is Brontosaurus never existed. For that reason it is not called a Brontosaurus in The New Dinosaur Dictionary bouquet of Donald. F. GLUT (Citadel Press, Secaucus, New Jersey, 1982).
Reconstruction Dinosaurs
It is important to note that when scientists multiplying number of bones, they found the bones with flesh. Although they found all the bones in full (and usually more often found in only some parts of it), they have only 40 percent of the data to explain how the creature's appearance. The bones were not told how the animal's color or what it eats. Very little fossil evidence of the dinosaur food. But Komsognatus, Barioniks, and hadrosaurs is an exception because the contents of his stomach was found in the fossil record that is still intact. Evidence that preys Deinonikhus Tenontosaurus also found. The food is mostly dinosaurs can only be unexpected based on data obtained by researchers from dinosaur teeth have become fossilized. Sharp teeth possessed only explain how he tore his food but not food what is torn off. When reconstructing a large dinosaur bone remains, scientists make assumptions. Like, some a statement about what the dinosaurs do or where they live is full of mere allegations. In the film The Lost World said about the behavior of dinosaurs. This cloned wild creature could smell cigarette smoke from a distance of several miles, have high intelligence, maintain and keep her baby, can revenge, and so on. None of these things can be known from fossilized dinosaur bones.
As an example let us examine the fossil Unenlagia comahuensis discovered by paleontologist Fernando Novas published in Kompas, Monday, May 26, 1997. Of the existing bone so he tried to construct a dinosaur creature who later evolved into birds.
The picture on the above describes how the reconstruction of the bone so that it becomes a form of dinosaurs. The white color depict bones found whereas black image shows the image reconstruction. You can discover how very little bone was reconstructed into a complete dinosaur. How he could describe dinosaur head complete with sharp teeth, while not found the skull and its teeth. How long he guessed his neck while her collarbone was not found. How did he guess the long tail while the tail bone was not found. Maybe he short-tailed, while the long-tailed creature was reconstructed. How did he reconstruct forearm complete with his fingers found only while humerus. Clearly here that scientists use imagination (which may be wrong) to reconstruct the bones he found. The form of these dinosaurs are still necessary, especially if we are questioning suspected that dinosaurs evolved into birds.
Is it true that Archaeopteryx is the ancestor of birds?
Archaeopteryx / Arkheopteriks is a bird. He has the legs to grip, wings like a bird, like the feathers of modern bird feathers, like a bird cranium, and a furcula (collarbone birds). In addition, he flew! Furthermore, although Archaeopteryx fossil was first discovered in 1861, the other fossils found since that time no one was showing the transition between reptiles and Archaeopteryx or between Archaeopteryx and the birds. If reptiles evolved into birds then will find thousands of transitional creatures that lived and died, leaving traces in the fossil record.
Despite incriminating evidence and there are conflicting but many evolutionists maintain that Archaeopteryx is a transitional form between reptiles and birds. They point to evidence that this bird has claws on both wings, teeth, and some of the characteristics that look like reptiles. Some people claim that this characteristic indicates that Archaeopteryx evolved from reptiles. However, some early birds have teeth. By the same token also turned many an ancient bird that has no teeth. The point is that no fossils were found to express the loss of teeth continuously or slowly lost to birds. Those who have no teeth and some do not! This is not surprising since it also occurs in some other vertebrates. Some fish have teeth, some amphibians have teeth, and some reptiles have teeth. But there are fish, and amphibians, and reptiles do not have teeth! Most mammals have teeth, but some do not. The presence or absence of teeth does not confirm or deny the theory of evolution or creation.
Are the claws on the wings proved transition reptiles and birds? No, because there are at least 3 birds living today who also has claws on its wings. Hoatzin, a bird that lived in South America, has claws on its wings when I was young. It also happens to touraco, birds that live in Africa. Ostrich has three claws on its wings, but no one has dared to suggest that the third bird is a beast intermediaries reptiles and birds because they live in the moment.
A few years ago, paleontological (fossil expert) found fossils of modern birds and concluded, from the evidence, that modern birds lived at the same time as Archaeopteryx. Archaeopteryx can not be the ancestor of modern birds and Archaeopteryx if the bird life at the same time.
More recently, paleontologists discovered fossils of a bird in Texas who allegedly lived 75 million years before Archaeopteryx. If we follow the evolutionist mindset that this bird should be more like reptiles than Archaeopteryx. But these creatures are more birdlike than Archaeopteryx! Scientists who believe in creation theory concluded that Archaeopteryx is not an animal intermediary reptiles and birds, but it is a bird, specially created by God and preserved for us in terms of the fossil record.
Really Extinct Dinosaurs 65 Million Years
Before Humans Evolved?
Let us look at the scientific evidence on the Paluxy River, near Glen Rose, Texas, United States. Ken Ham and John Mackay from Creation Science Foundation has come to visit the Paluxy to investigate the remains of the former as the relics found convincing evidence of the existence of human footprints among dinosaur footprints. If the dinosaurs had become extinct 65 million years before humans evolved then how can there be dinosaurs with the human footprint on the same soil. "We also found additional evidence in the Paluxy River to remove understand evolution on geological time scales. At the very top layer of rocks in the river, he was expected by the experts of the evolution is only 25 million years old, clearly once we found dinosaur footprints. According to the understanding of the evolution of these fossils should not be present in the upper layer (25 million years old) because the animals have gone extinct since the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Thus, by using the method of calculation time (geological time scale) used by the evolution itself, which also ignores the human footprint, the fossil remains Paluxy River has conquered understand evolution on geological time scales (ie geological time scale inaccurate and wrong)! "
Dr. Clifford Wilson, a famous author from Melbourne city and the famous archaeologist, "in essence has made digging and found footprints around the Paluxy River and have found human footprints." Letter, 5 April 1984.
Dr. John D. Morris in his book, Tracking Those Incredible Dinosaurs states that 1) dinosaur tracks and human footprints have been found for the first time and made his picture in 1908. 2) human footprints have been found in about 20 places around the Paluxy River so as to give weight to the evidence that convincingly. 3) Former human footprints were found by Leaky group in East Africa and is widely accepted by evolutionists as a pure invention is not so clear as the discovery of Paluxy River, which it has been rejected by them because they think it's unlikely men's contemporaries dinosaurs.
Dennis R Petersen, M.A. (Master of Art in Museum Administration) in his book Unlocking the Mysteries of Creation page 143 states there is some mystery puzzle Paluxy River. Some tracks such as trail bears and cats have been found there, too. The question that arises is how can these animals (which are supposed to have evolved) back in time millions of years before that in the age of dinosaurs. Or they lived at the same time as the dinosaurs?
On the front page of the daily newspaper Sydney Morning Herald, an afternoon edition, dated 21 November 1983, there was a news report in the form of highly related to problems of human and dinosaur tracks. This discovery is probably the most important thing to come from a communist state news agency who had not the Lord: "A report from the Soviet news agency, Tass, states that more than 1500 former animal dinosaur footprint relics have been found in Turkmenia, but in among the footprints there are traces that resemble human footprints. According to the Ammaviyazov Professor, Director of the Institute of Geology Turkmenia, "If further analysis to prove that the footprints are relics of former anthropoid creatures, the history of mankind (according to evolutionists) should be expanded to 150 million years away, and not only 5 million years. "But creationists still do not accept that humans have evolved.
Paluxy River trail and in Turkmenia This leads inevitably evolutionists should accept that dinosaurs did not become extinct 65 million years before humans evolved. But if they insist on stating that there were no humans, then perhaps this illustration may explain it.
PALUXY RIVER:
Other Evidence That Humans Have Living with Dinosaurs
Many cultures have legends in the world of Dragon. Legend of the Dragon is in China, Japan, Australia, South America, India, Europe, UK, and Jews in America. If the dragon is only human imagination, why this legend is in some cultures is not only found in a single nation? Suspected that the creature is actually a dinosaur.

| Plesiosaur (dinosaurs that live in the water) |
In the 10th century, the Irish recorded encounter with a creature that looked like a Stegosaurus. In the 1500's, a European scientific book, Historia Animalium, noted several types of animals, which for us is a dinosaur, still alive at the time. A famous natural scientist, Ulysses Aldrovandus, recorded a meeting between a peasant named Baptista and a dragon whose characteristics are similar to dinosaur Tanystropheus. The meeting took place on May 13, 1472 near Bologna in Italy, and the farmer killed the dragon. So the proof of the existence of dinosaurs in the history of mankind is very strong.
Stegosaurus
There have been reports stating dinosaur sightings lately. In Science Digest, June 1981 and No Frontiers Science. 33 In 1983, investigators and people in Africa reported sightings of creatures such as dinosaurs. Matched the description given by way of dinosaurs. In Melbourne Sun, February 6, 1980, more than 40 people claim that they see plesiosaurs from Australia Victorian coast lately. It may be true that the Loch Ness monster (if the monster really exists) is a variation of a plesiosaur (dinosaurs that live in the water) are still alive today. Not a shameful thing for the creationists if someone finds Tyrannosaurus rex lived in the woods. But this clearly would be embarrassing for an evolutionist.
Dinosaurs in the Bible:
Leviathan (marine reptiles) and Behemot.
Are dinosaurs in the book there is also the oldest, ever written by man, that still exist today?
The Bible says, "God created animals big sea" (Genesis 1:21). Allah describes one of the sea beasts to Job (approximately 2000 years BC). In Greek creature called leviathan (Job 40:20), and the Indonesian Bible called crocodiles. These creatures are very big and strong, so that people can not catch it with a hook, or hurt him with a sword or spear (Job 41:17). Actually we do not know clearly what the sea creatures God intended in the book of Job. But God said, "No peerless on earth, that creature does not know fear" (Job 41:24).It seems impossible that no creature can spray flames from his mouth. But the Bible says, "Out of his mouth came out torches and emitted sparks" (Job 41:10). Based on this verse found nothing wrong with the giant creature was not a crocodile. And there are no alligators or other reptiles sparks spitting from his mouth. We recognize and admire fireflies. We know, when the nightly body fireflies flickering rays radiating brilliantly clear. It is clear evidence that the 'eject' the fire is not impossible for God's creatures. We also know the story of the dragon that breathed fire from his mouth, from which the idea of a dragon spitting fire if it is only human imagination?
The Bible reports that God said to Job, "Notice Nile horse, which I have made as well as thee" (Job 40:10).
In the Hebrew Bible called the horse is not the Nile, but BEHEMOT. That is a giant beast enormous and immensely powerful. God says that it has Behemot bones like copper vessels. Framework of his body like an iron rod, and tail like a cedar tree (see Job 40:11-19).
The description states that the animal is not a horse, nor elephants Nile because their tails are not as big as cedar wood (wood libanon, big ones). And experts (from the creationists. Ct. Henry M. Morris) believe that it is BEHEMOT dinosaurs, giant beast that is amazing.
God told Job to Jordan noticed this amazing creature. Allah says, "Verily, even the river current is very strong, he is not afraid" (40:18). In the spring, the snow on Mount Lebanon - roughly 80 miles to the north of the Jordan River - melt. Liquid overflow snow, rain thunders down into the Jordan River. The river is usually calm, turned out to be malignant. But the roar of the water of this river, did not disturb the long-necked dinosaurs. The Bible says, "He remained calm, though the Jordan River overflowed hit his mouth" (Job 40:18 b).
BEHEMOT quite lifted his head a little higher, to hold and devour the flood water washed away trees.
God told Job observe dinosaurs - the giant creature. That means that dinosaurs once lived on earth in the days of Job.
When Dinosaurs Created?
On the 5 th day God began to fill the earth with the animals. The Bible says, "God created sea animals great and all kinds of living things that move, which swarm in the waters" (Genesis 1:21). 'Animals big sea' that includes a giant leviathan. It was called in Job chapter 41 and Psalm 104:26. God also created the whales and large fish types. Genesis 1:21 says that "every winged bird species' was also created on day 5.
On day 6, the last day of creation, 'God made the wild animals and all kinds of cattle, and all kinds of creeping things of the earth'. Remember, also including dinosaur reptiles. Then "God created man in his own image ... male and female he created them" (Genesis 1:25,27).
Many people do not believe what God said about the creatures of creation reptiles. They argue that the animal comes from chemicals in the water, through an evolutionary process that requires thousands of millions of years. God knows everything before it happens, just know people will not believe him. Perhaps that is why God is up to three times confirmed to us (events 1:24,25,26), that He made all creatures creeping at the same time, when He made man - male and female.

God created dinosaurs including Behemot mighty land, on the 6th day of His creation (Job 40:15). In the beginning God created them docile, as the plant eater. The Bible says, "... to every beast of the earth ... the soul, I have given every green plant into food" (Genesis 1:30). At first all the creatures that eat the plants, seeds, and fruits. They do not prey on each other. But after Adam and Eve fell into sin, many animals became meat eaters.
Why Dinosaurs Extinct?
There are several possibilities raised by both evolutionists and from others. They said there was a giant object from space crashed into the sea, resulting in the extinction of some marine creatures. They say, too, that then there are other objects that hit Earth, causing the dinosaurs gradually became extinct. Others say that the extinction of dinosaurs due to radiation from the explosion. There is more to say due to virus outbreak dinosaurs. Some say due to a bout of diarrhea, a meteor shower (see the May 6 issue of Time magazine in 1985), and so on.
According to The Creationists.
Our Earth today is very different from the pre-Flood world. God put a layer of water vapor in the atmosphere around the earth (Genesis 1:6-8). Adam, Cain, Noah and others who lived before the time of the Flood, can not see it. Layer of water vapor is not visible to our eyes. We can see the sun during the day, the moon and the stars at night. But we see it through the reflection of the water vapor layer.
Layer of water vapor that was part of God's great plan. Layer of water vapor evaporation to keep and maintain the earth's temperature. So on those days there was no sustained cold regions of the earth, even in the North Pole or the South Pole. The air temperature at the earth remains the same throughout the year. The weather was warm and humid, much like the air in the greenhouse today, when we went into it.
The scientists say that the ultra-violet rays from the sun's harmful to the life of every creature on earth. 1.600 During the year the invisible vapor layer that protects the earth from ultra-violet rays. Because it's protection of plants, animals and humans can live longer, and can grow larger than the situation today. An example is the fruit produced in greenhouses are usually larger than those produced in the garden.
When God told Noah, that heavy rains will fall, his intention is to layer the water vapor turns into rain. Then the heavy rain drops. God's Word describes it rains so "... all the fountains of the deep split in the fierce highway and opened floodgates of heaven" (Genesis 7:11). Flood was largely due to the tremendous outpouring of water from sky to earth.
Then came the flood. But God protects his creation by providing an ark that saved a family, and also any kind of creature that breathes.
When Noah's family and all sentient animals out of the ark, the young dinosaurs witnessed a very different world than they had ever inhabited the earth before. Steep mountains, such as Mount Alpo and the Himalayas, appears in a mountainous area far more flat before. Steep canyons formed by the swift water currents, which erode the soft earth. Shallow sea turned into the ocean, as we know in this day and age.
Perhaps the Earth has more land land, and more land for plants and creatures animals before the Flood. After that time, the plants do not grow fertile and lush before. Similarly swamp increasingly rare. The desert began to exist, so that some dinosaurs difficult to get food. Due to lack of food, many dinosaurs probably starve to death. While herbivorous dinosaurs became extinct, endangered carnivorous dinosaurs anyway.
Solar radiation from damaging all life. Because the ultra-violet rays are harmful no longer filtered by layers of water vapor on the horizon. As a result, the life of plants and animals being shorter. This means that dinosaurs did not get to grow up to be a giant as before.
The weather changed so much of the earth after the Flood. The weather around the world is no longer warm or too humid. Some parts of the world even very cold. Maybe some dinosaurs were not able to adjust for the change of weather, so it froze to death. So the conclusion many dinosaurs were extinct because of habitat change and the earth's temperature change so that they can not survive. There were still alive until the time of Job, and there were still alive until now.
Dinosaurs in Noah's ark? What is fit?
Are all the animals could go into Noah's Ark, including the dinosaurs? How did Noah can carry millions of species of animals on the ark? In which he placed a tall Brachiosaurus 50 feet and weighing 80 tons? No need to put up a big dinosaurs on the ark. To maintain the continuity of its kind to be done by a baby dinosaur. This eases the problem where they lived in the ark. Furthermore, millions of species not included in the ark. The Bible states that God commanded to bring a pair of every kind of animal except land and air unclean animals used for sacrifice as many as 7 pairs. Currently there are about 20,000 species of land animals and the air was alive (such as mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians). If we assume there are 20,000 species become extinct, it means that there are 40,000 species are loaded, or roughly 80,000 animals enter the ark.
Some large animals, but most of them, such as mice, lizards, and birds, is quite small. The average size of these animals about the size of a sheep. Noah's Ark length of approximately 450 feet, Cleaner 45 feet, and a width of 75 feet. This means, with 3 decks, boat has a floor area of over 100,000 square feet. Eight hundred thousand animals can be confined in an area of 50,000 square feet, resulting in half the space may be used to store food, air, shelter for Noah and his family, and others. Maybe God is causing some animals hibernate (sleep during the winter / off during a given period), to minimize their maintenance. Flood delegated to earth by God, and his will was Noah, his family, and a pair of animals by land, air can be saved, including the dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs Present
Although extinct giant reptiles (there may be remaining human and never found), there are some small reptiles still alive today. We do not know exactly why this little reptile can survive. Maybe they can adjust to the world around him has changed. The creatures were said to be "small" as compared to the giant dinosaur that weighed several tons. However, in the creeping creatures that survive this, there are hundreds of pounds.

| komodo |
Komodo Island, Indonesia, a type of lizard live in the world, the Komodo. Unfortunately, only about a thousand dragons tail is still alive today.
Like Komodo dragons in medieval paintings. The only thing that differentiates from the Komodo dragon, Komodo is not spouting flames from its nostrils like a dragon in the picture.
Komodo shiny black leather.. Komodo claws long and sharp. His tongue was long and bladed, like a snake's tongue.Komodo dragons can grow almost 3 feet long and weighs approximately 136 kg. They like to eat dead animals, such as deer, wild pigs, goats and buffalo. Komodo dragons moving slowly on the ground, little dragons moving nimble, agile like monkeys. Similarly, his nimble, clever little dragons climb trees. Not much is known about the habits of life dragons, so much about this creature is still a big mystery.

| Mona Iguana |
Mona Iguana lizard feet short and fat, as well as very short tail. Big body shrunk. His head was large, covered by large lumps. A horn perched on the muzzle makes it look fierce and ferocious.
Although these creatures look ferocious, he is actually not harmful to humans or to animals other creatures. Mona iguanas are plant-eaters. One of his favorite food is fruit manchineel. Fruit can cause sudden illness and even death to humans who eat them. Mona iguanas do not have to eat every day.
About 95 percent of the daylight time, Mona Iguana resting on the ground. Being on the ground to protect the lizards from the fight with the enemy, maintaining stable body temperature, conserve fluid in the body, and saves energy.
Tortoises are from Isabela Island in the Pacific Ocean. Isabela Island including the Galapagos Islands, 965.4 kilometers west of Ecuador, South America.
This dome-shaped reptile known as a cold-blooded creature toughest in the world. No male tortoise that weighs up to 272 kg. Serious female tortoises are rarely more than 136 kg. Age creatures can reach 150 years.
Galapagos tortoises like to live at ease. Every day he slept about 16 hours. He woke up at 7 or 8 am, and then bask in the sun two or three hours, till his great it feels warm. In the rest of the day he might move a few feet away to look for food.
Food giant creatures of various kinds and a bit odd. He ate nettles and prickly pear. Like the Mona Iguana reptile, he liked the poisonous fruits that are harmful to humans.
These turtles sleep at 4 or 5 pm. So that his body remains warm throughout the night, he buried half his body in the mud. Mud was also protected from mosquito attack. The next day, the mud dries attached to his body and protect it from attack small vermin like infiltrate into skin crevices.
If the little vermin sneak into her long legs and wrinkled, the head or legs, he simply stuck out of his body and let the robin pecked out the fleas that. God governs animal beings in such a way that they can help each other.
About 5 hours old female tortoises lay eggs that will explore, measure and form a hole. Then in less than 20 minutes, he lay as many as 17 points. Done incubating eggs, the mother rearrange the location of its eggs in transverse arrangement at the base of the hole. Then he coats the top of the egg with mud so that the eggs were not cold at night and hot during the day. The eggs hatch ranging from 3 to 8 months, depending on the state of the air temperature.
For one to five days, the baby turtles struggle to solve the egg shell. Then the baby should scrape the mud nests that have been hardened to get out. Generally baby turtles made it out after a few weeks, but can not wait weeks to get food. So does that make the baby turtles do not die of hunger? God created the yolk bag attached to the abdomen baby turtle. Pockets yolk provides food for baby turtles for 7 months if necessary. Having worked out, the baby turtles are free to roam like a mini bulldozer weighs about 1 ounce.
