When in captivity, sea turtles should be maintained in water with a salinity level falling within a range of that of normal, natural, incoming seawater. Short periods of holding sea turtles in fresh water can be tolerated and are useful when prescribed by a veterinarian, e.g., to remove parasites and fouling epibiota such as barnacles. However, prolonged periods in fresh water should not be encouraged. Sea turtles are meant for life in the sea, so they do best in an environment with a similar salinity.
they dont have feet like other turtles, the have flippers kind of. and they live in the water 100% of the time, other turtles live in water and on land.
1. Sea turtles are larger
2. Their diets are different
3. Their habitats are different
4. Survival rate
5. Eggs
6. Laying of the eggs
7.Endangerment
The physical difference between a sea turtle and other turtles is that sea turtles' legs and arms cannot retract back into their shells. Sea turtles range in color between yellow, green and black, depending on the species. There are seven species of sea turtles- the leatherback sea turtle, green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, flatback sea turtle, and olive ridley sea turtle. Four of these species are "endangered," or "critically endangered," and another two species are classified as "vulnerable." Threats to the lives of sea turtles are caused by the encroachment of coastal development on their nesting beaches, encounters with pollutants and marine debris, accidental drowning in fishing gear, accidental capture, and international trade in turtle meat and products.
Freshwater turtles cannot survive in the sea, no.
There are two types of turtles: Freshwater turtles and sea turtles. All freshwater turtles live mostly in water but often climb onto rocks and land to bask in the sun, mate, and lay eggs. Sea turtles don't bask in the sun, but they mate and lay eggs on land. Freshwater turtles live in rivers and lakes, and sea turtles live in the ocean.
well, almost all turtles are freshwater except a sea turtle.
I wouldn't think that there would be any sea turtles in a zoo because sea turtles live in the sea not in a freshwater habitat. But you never know there might be. They would just have to live in salt water.

For Loggerhead Sea Turtles about 1 out of 1,000 hatchlings survive to adulthood and only 1 in 10,000 eggs survive to adulthood.
There are at least 270 different species of turtle known to man. This includes freshwater turtles, tortoises, and sea turtles.
Freshwater fish would not survive the salinity of the sea for very long.
green turtles are turtles that are green and swim in the ocean and lay eggs and leave them to survive by themselves
They have to live in water to breath in.
no,they eat different thinge
Well, green sea turtles have approximately 110-115 babies, although only a few survive into adult hood! Hope that helped!
