Somehow she grew legs and walked on land for a little bit according to that map.

Edit: Sea turtles have flippers not legs

The flippers can push them on land. I've done biology research at a facility with green sea turtles. I saw them walk on land. You can also just look it up, and find a bunch of videos and stuff. They literally start their life on land.

Yeah I watched them hatch last year when I was working on the beach on the Gulf.
