Hawksbill sea turtle
The Hawksbill sea turtle is a critically endangered species known for its beautiful, patterned shell. These turtles are typically found in tropical coral reefs, where they feed primarily on sponges. Their unique beak-like mouth allows them to reach into crevices to access food that other turtles cannot.
Hawksbill turtles play a vital role in maintaining the health of coral reefs by controlling sponge populations. They are migratory creatures, often traveling long distances between feeding and nesting sites. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their habitats and ensure their survival in the wild.
