Are sea turtles friendly to humans?
Are sea turtles friendly to humans? A sea turtle is not an aggressive animal at all. Normally, they are docile creatures that only bite when threatened. A sea turtle bite is extremely rare and generally not dangerous.
What to do if a sea turtle approaches you?
When you see a turtle coming up the beach, keep your distance, turn off any lights you are using and crouch down low. Do NOT walk closer! Always approach turtles from the side. This gives them a clear view of you and a clear path ahead of them if they want to swim away.
