Unlike us, where sex determination is largely controlled by the X and Y chromosomes, in sea turtles, sex determination depends on the temperature at which their eggs are incubated. Yet, with climate change, the temperature of nesting sites are rising and causing the ratios of sea turtles to skew towards more females, making male sea turtles a rare sight to see. . . 📸 by @wild_horizon_photography . . #wesea #openyoureyes . . #seaturtle #seaturtles #turtletuesday #newlife #hatchling #beach #temperature #globalwarming #climatechange #turtlelove #turtlepower #turtletime #turtlesofinstagram #tortoise #sealife #wildanimals #wildlifeconservation #photooftheday #naturephotography #uwphotography #underwaterworld #coralreef #scubalove #divingpassport #islandlife #wanderlust #tropicalcolors #rajaampatisland
