Hawksbill
The Hawksbill turtle is a critically endangered species known for its distinctive shell, which features beautiful patterns of orange, brown, and yellow. These turtles primarily inhabit tropical coral reefs, where they play a vital role in maintaining the health of the ecosystem by feeding on sponges and other invertebrates.
Hawksbill turtles are found in oceans around the world, particularly in the Caribbean Sea and Indian Ocean. They are known for their long migrations and can travel thousands of miles between feeding and nesting sites. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this species from threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and climate change.
