Chelonia mydas is the scientific name of the green sea turtle.

However, there are still seven living species of sea turtles.

Answer 2

Yes, but the name of a specific species of turtle is different for each species. So for instance, the species name of the Painted turtle is Chrysemys picta. The species name of the Galapagos tortoise, the tortoise that Charles Darwin studied, is Geochelone nigra.

Answer 3

The "scientific name" of an animal consists of two levels of its taxonomic classification, the "genus" and "species." Scientific names are in Latin. They are usually printed in italics, with the genus capitalized. The scientific name of the green sea turtle is "Chelonia (genus) mydas (species)." Sometimes a species is further subdivided into subspecies, and the subspecies name is added to the scientific name. Thus the East Pacific green turtles scientific name is "Chelonia mydas agassizii". Once the genus and species have been mentioned, they are usually abbreviated in subsequent occurrences (e.g. the green sea turtles scientific name would be written "C. mydas".)
