shell=brown or olive

The green sea turtle is a reptile that lives in tropical waters, but will sunbathe on land.

Green sea turtles are herbivores that can weigh up to 700 pounds.

Mating takes place in shallow waters every 2 to 4 years, with the female laying up to 200 eggs. . Green sea turtles are an endangered species related to Hawksbill sea turtles ,

Leatherback sea turtles, and Kemps Ridley sea turtles. The journey from the nesting ground to the sea is very dangerous for sea turtle babies as they get eaten by crabs and gulls.

(reefannie)

Green sea turtles are called such due to the chlorophyll in their diet from eating seaweed, which turns their fat layer very green. They also have a love for squid, octopus, and really seem to enjoy eating jellyfish. The scutes (plates) on their backs are brown with varying shades of golds and occasionally green in a sunburst pattern. The shells are made of keratin and grows with the animals. Green turtles are not endangered every where. In Hawaii the population has made such a wonderful comeback it has been delisted to threatened. They are seen in shallow areas feasting on seaweeds and resting on the coral reefs and area also known for traveling long distances across very deep oceans to nesting grounds in the western archipelago. Mating in Hawaiian waters can be in very deep waters and can last for hours.
