I am not sure the species of this turtle but it is believed that the first sea turtles roamed Earth more than 250 million years ago. It is believed they were part of the late Jurassic Period based on fossil records. It is believed that these sea creatures where once land animals that evolved to spend most of their time in the water in order to survive. It is suggested that they once had four appendages instead of the flippers they have today. They were very similar to land turtles but much larger.
