Two loggerhead turtles have laid their eggs on two separate Spanish beaches over the past 48 hours, as the endangered species moves further west, which scientists say could be due to climate change.

One turtle laid 80 eggs in the town of Denia on Saturday, and another laid 62 in Gandia on Monday, which are both in the eastern Valencia region, the Oceanographic Foundation said.

Since 2012, nest numbers in France, Italy, Spain and Tunisia have increased dramatically, reaching 84 in 2020 compared to an average of three a year from 1990-2012, according to a paper released by scientific journal Global Ecology and Conservation last summer.
