Sea turtles.
“ Have you ever seen over 10 sea turtle species in one spot?”. Well let's take ourselves to
the nice tropical warm seas, where we will learn about the seven species of sea turtles.
There is the hawksbill sea turtle, the loggerhead, the green turtle, the
leatherback, the kemp's ridley, the olive ridley and the flatback. In common places of the world you could possibly find over 10 sea turtles species in one spot.
Every species of sea turtles are the same because they all have 5 inch arms and legs and
they all grow up to 5-12 inches and weigh 160 kgs. apart from the leatherback, the leather
back grows up to six feet and weighs 550 - 2,000 pounds but for the rest female is slightly
different, the male turtles tail is 2 inches longer than the females.
A sea turtle has two shells on its body, there's the inner shell and the outer shell. When a
turtle curls up into its shell it actually curls up into their inner shell. The only reason why
they would curl up is either because they got frightened by something or someone, because
they are cold or because they are hiding from prey or predators. A turtle's shell is so hard
it feels like rock. As hard as you try to break it it will just break the object your using to
crush it.
Turtles like warm, tropical & shallow waters because it is easier to hunt down prey and
because well it's warm and they have sensitive skin. Turtles are most likely to be found
in the pacific oceans, gulf of mexico, Tropical regions of the Atlantic and India. Because
their hard rock shell turtles aint really afraid of being out in the open. They tend to be out
in the open because they are the corals life savers. Turtles eat all the bad and yucky stuff
off corals that will make corals overtake the ocean and there will be nothing but corals.
Some turtles are endangered there are over 4,600 that get killed everyday by plastic, oils,
predators and many more things that are willing that are willing to take down the turtles
species. To make sure we have enough turtles in the ocean we need to make sure we put
our rubbish in the bin, stop putting any types of chemicals into the ocean, making sure
there is enough food so they dont starve of hunger and especially when we go swimming
and we see a turtle just let it be. Please help us look after our sea turtles and for more
