The loggerhead turtle is a large sea turtle known for its distinctive heart-shaped shell and strong jaws. They can weigh up to 350 pounds and are found in oceans around the world, particularly in warm waters. Loggerheads primarily feed on jellyfish, conchs, and crustaceans, using their powerful beaks to crush hard-shelled prey.
Loggerhead turtles are classified as endangered due to threats like habitat loss, pollution, and entanglement in fishing gear. They are known for their long migrations, often traveling thousands of miles between feeding and nesting sites. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.
