loggerhead turtles
Loggerhead turtles are large sea turtles known for their distinctive heart-shaped shells 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.
These turtles are classified as endangered due to threats like habitat loss, pollution, and accidental capture in fishing gear. Loggerhead turtles are also known for their long migrations, traveling thousands of miles between feeding and nesting sites. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats and ensure their survival.
