This case study examines the events surrounding the hatching and migration of loggerhead sea turtles, specifically what mechanisms they use to head towards the ocean (once hatched) and where and how they migrate once in the ocean.  The story is written from the point of view of two hatchlings as they crack through their shells, dig out of the sand, and travel at night along the beach into the ocean.  Once they survive this peril, they make their way to the deep ocean and the North Atlantic current, migrating along it, until decades later the female makes her way back to the same beach to lay her eggs and begin the cycle anew.  The case details how loggerheads navigate these vast distances with seemingly no navigational cues.  The case also explores how other long-distance migratory species such as birds and seals migrate along similar vast distances. Originally written for a Masters-level class in biology called "Case Studies in Physiology," the case could easily be used or modified for senior or even undergraduate level biology-majors course.
