Green Turtles
Green turtles are large marine reptiles known for their distinctive heart-shaped shells and strong flippers. They can weigh up to 400 pounds and are primarily found in tropical and subtropical oceans. Their diet mainly consists of seagrasses and algae, which gives their fat a greenish color, hence their name.
These turtles are known for their long migrations, often traveling thousands of miles between feeding and nesting sites. They typically nest on sandy beaches, where females lay around 100 eggs at a time. Unfortunately, green turtles face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and hunting, leading to their classification as endangered.
