The Leatherback turtle eats plankton and sharks eat itthis statement is incorrect. firstly the Dermochelys Coriacea does not eat plankton it's primary food source is jellyfish. Secondly sharks cannot eat it! a adult leatherback can weigh up to 2000 lbs no way any shark can eat that! Killer whales are the only carnivorous animal large enough to consume a Dermochelys Coriacea.

Suriname doesn't have a national animal or insect. But four endangered sea turtles are popularly linked with Suriname. Green [Chelonia mydas], hawksbill [Eretmochelys imbricata], leatherback [Dermochelys coriacea], and olive ridley [Lepidochelys olivacea] all nest in Suriname. The Galibi Nature Reserve in northern Suriname was established as a national reserve in 1969 to protect them.
