Hawksbill turtle
The Hawksbill turtle is a critically endangered sea turtle known for its distinctive beak-like mouth and beautiful, patterned shell. They primarily inhabit coral reefs in tropical and subtropical waters, where they feed mainly on sponges. Their unique diet helps maintain the health of coral ecosystems.
Hawksbill turtles play a vital role in marine environments by promoting coral growth and maintaining biodiversity. They are often threatened by habitat loss, illegal trade of their shells, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these turtles and their habitats for future generations.
