Loggerhead Sea Turtle: A Deep Dive into an Endangered Marine Species

DESCRIPTION

The Loggerhead Sea Turtle, an incredible olive-green inhabitant of the ocean, weighs around 300 pounds, with larger specimens reaching up to 1,000 pounds. They can grow up to 3 feet long and primarily feed on crabs, mollusks, snails, jellyfish, and sometimes fish. With a nesting behavior that produces 100-125 eggs every 14 days, they face threats from predators like raccoons and wild boars and human activities such as fishing. Efforts are underway to protect this species, which can live over 60 years, as only 6 of the 7 turtle species remain.
