Do sea turtles hibernate?
Do sea turtles hibernate? The turtles that are found in freshwater lakes are known to bury themselves in the mud and hibernate. Sea turtles are not known to do this, except for one group found near Baja Mexico that are thought to bury themselves in the mud at the opening of the Gulf of California. But sea turtles don’t have to hibernate because they just go to the warmer water, and stay in the tropics during the winter.
