A male leatherback turtle is a member of the leatherback species, known for its large size and distinctive leathery shell, which lacks the hard, bony carapace found in other turtle species. These turtles can weigh between 550 and 2,000 pounds and are the largest of all sea turtles. Unlike females, male leatherbacks do not return to land after hatching; they spend their entire lives in the ocean, primarily feeding on jellyfish. Males play a critical role in the species' reproductive cycle, mating with females during breeding seasons.
