Question: what kind of animal lays eggs on beach that look like caviar?
I have found soft shelled eggs that are smaller than BB bullets (look like caviar) on a sandy beach in Margate NJ. This is on the ocean or an inlet (salt water). The eggs are soft shelled (not like a snake or turtle) and very small. The eggs are clear and I can see a little green thing moving around inside (look like a jelly fish, but I know it is in the embryonic stage and thus wont look like the adult whatever it is). I found them at the back of a beach about 4 feet from the water at high tide. There were a series of small holes about 1 ½ inch wide 2 inches deep, each hole was filled about an inch with hundreds of these tiny eggs, none of the holes had been covered back up with sand. There is no way they came from a bird turtle or snake, and I don’t think they are horse shoe crabs because of the holes.
The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!

I have no idea what these are, but please do let me/us know if you find out. How interesting.
I live on the west coast and have never seen anything like this on our beaches, nor heard of it. Hope people leave these alone and you have the chance to see them hatch.
Might ask a life guard or local fishermen, and go online and do some searches too. You have me curious! LOL
Answer by robyn_naples
A certain type of sea turtle will actually climb the beach several feet to lay their eggs. They beach themselves and it can sometimes take them awhile to crawl up to their desired point. (which makes sense… they’re turtles!) Usually they will attempt to bury the eggs. Once hatched the little turtles depart out to sea and will return only to lay their eggs.
I don’t remember why the turtles lay their eggs on land but I would imagine it’s to avoid sea predators. Sad part is there are a lot of other predators such as crabs and seagulls and only a small percentage of the turtles actually make it to sea.
