Turtles are one of the most amazing animals in the world. They live in the sea, but there aren’t as many of them as there used to be. The world’s largest turtle can be seen here.
This turtle has come out of the water and is on the beach. It was a beautiful leatherback turtle. I think it came from the water to rest on the sand. It might be slow because of its weight.
When you think about the species, leatherback turtles are the largest turtles in the world. They don’t have a hard shell-like most turtles. The name says that their backs are covered in thick leathery skin.
If you want to see the world, these leatherback turtles prefer to travel alone. They only meet with other turtles when they are ready to mate. They, too, lay eggs on a beach and let their babies find their own way to the sea. Those turtles are built for cold water. It makes it easy for them to go deep into the sea and find their favorite food, jellyfish.
The leatherback turtles have fins that can grow up to 9 feet taller than any other sea turtle species. This is because the leatherback turtles are unique. Nature is awe-inspiring at making a community that can live in different places. Isn’t it great?
