The green sea turtle got its name from the greenish color of the fat beneath its shell, which is a result of the turtle's herbivorous diet, primarily consisting of seagrasses and algae. This coloration contrasts with the turtle's dark, mottled shell. Unlike other sea turtles, the name specifically reflects the distinctive hue of its body fat rather than the color of its shell.
