Buried treasure-marine turtles do not 'disguise' or 'camouflage' their nests but avoid them and create a decoy trail.

After laying their eggs and refilling the egg chamber, sea turtles scatter sand extensively around the nest site. This is presumed to camouflage the nest, or optimize local conditions for egg development, but a consensus on its function is lacking. We quantified activity and mapped the movements of hawksbill () and leatherback () turtles during sand-scattering.
