Green turtle
The Green turtle is a large sea turtle known for its distinctive olive-green shell. It can weigh up to 700 pounds and is primarily found in tropical and subtropical oceans. Green turtles are herbivorous, mainly feeding on seagrasses and algae, which contribute to their unique coloration.
These turtles are important for marine ecosystems, as they help maintain healthy seagrass beds. Green turtles are also listed as endangered due to threats like habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect their populations and habitats around the world.
