The sea turtle is a marine reptile known for its distinctive shell and flippers. There are seven species of sea turtles, including the loggerhead and green turtle. They are found in oceans around the world, primarily in warm waters. Sea turtles are known for their long migrations, often traveling thousands of miles between feeding and nesting sites.
Sea turtles are herbivores or carnivores, depending on the species. They play a crucial role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, such as seagrass beds and coral reefs. Unfortunately, they face threats from habitat loss, pollution, and fishing bycatch, leading to declining populations.
