About 6 sea turtles (Not in billions, millions or thousands)
These birds pirate their food from others. They will follow and harass birds such as gannets, shearwaters and albatross to force them to disgorge their food which the skua then eats.
Skuas are seabirds in the family Stercorariidae.
Small turtles get their food by foraging for it in their natural habitats. This includes scavenging for insects worms snails and other small animals as well as searching for vegetation such as aquatic plants fruits and berries. Some species of turtles also feed on carrion or the carcasses of dead animals.
Turtles have specialized adaptations for foraging such as long necks and claws that help them reach food in hard-to-reach places. They also have powerful jaws and strong beaks that allow them to crush and eat hard-shelled prey. Depending on the species small turtles may also feed on small fish frogs and other aquatic life.
Small turtles will also scavenge for food in their immediate environment. This includes looking for insects worms and other small animals on land or in shallow waters. Turtles may also search for vegetation such as aquatic plants berries and fruit. Additionally some turtles will feed on carrion or the carcasses of dead animals.
Green sea turtles are dying because of many differing factors.
these factors are
Global warming.
Green sea turtles are very sensitive to hot and cold weathers. Baby turtles could die as they hatch from the heat of the sun if they dont make it to the water.
Predators
Predators include foxes, racoons, seabirds as a baby. and sharks prey when they are matured and enter the sea.
Pathogens and diseases
Pathogens and diseases can arise from virtually anything. Malnutritions, Pollution in the waters. eg, oil, salinity.
these are some answers
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that "global warming " has had any effect on populations of sea turtles. Biggest threat to sea turtle populations, as far as humans are concerned, are dying in nets of longline fishing trawlers.
The adult Green Sea turtles only eat plants. Their favorite is sea grass. The will eat mangrove leaves that hang down over the water. Younger turtles of this breed will also eat fish, jelly fish, crustaceans, and algae. They are born as poor swimmers, so for the first several months they float along the top and eat shrimp that are in sargassum weed. They have very powerful jaws.
please help save them!they lay their eggs mostly in the sommer and spring since its their mating season. They use their time to do it when they don't have to face the harsh weather.
120-175 years in the wild, 150-215 in captivity
because of byproducts and wastes
not all turtles are endanger mostly just the sea turtle
I am not sure how many there are. But people have been saying there are about 6,000,000 left in the wild. Doesn't sound endangered to me!
yess, they need food..they can be put with other turtles
theyy need things to enertain them too :)
liaaa wass heree <3
The green sea turtle is not extinct. However it is endangered. Recently, there has been a resurgence in this turtle's numbers.
How do sea turtles protect themselves? The most obvious answer to this question is prominently displayed upon their backs. The hard, bony external shell, called a carapace, not only indicates the relative age and species of sea turtles; it also functions as a natural suit of armor.
Unlike land turtles, however, sea turtles cannot retract their heads and limbs under their shells. Their bodies are streamlined for endurance and speed in the water, which comes in handy when adult sea turtles are confronted by their primary predators: large sharks and killer whales. Ironically, the characteristics that make them powerful swimmers (large paddle-like foreflippers and smaller, rudder-like hind flippers) also make sea turtles clumsy and virtually powerless on land.
In addition to their shells, sea turtles are armed with claws on each foreflipper, large upper eyelids to protect their eyes, and acute senses of sight and smell under water. Neither sea turtles nor land turtles have teeth, but they have well-built jaws that vary in shape according to species and diet (herbivore, carnivore or omnivore).
the green sea turtle swims in the sea, in the sometimes its on the sand, eating small leaves
green sea turtles will eat kelp, crustaceans, other invertebrates and other types of aquatic plant life
