Loggerhead Sea Turtle
The Loggerhead Sea Turtle is a large marine turtle known for its distinctive heart-shaped shell and strong jaws. Adults typically weigh between 200 to 400 pounds and can grow up to 3 feet in length. They are found in oceans around the world, particularly in temperate and tropical regions.
Loggerheads primarily feed on hard-shelled prey, such as crabs, conchs, and sea urchins. They play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by helping to maintain healthy populations of these species. Unfortunately, Loggerhead Sea Turtles are classified as vulnerable due to threats like habitat loss, pollution, and entanglement in fishing gear.
