How many years have green sea turtles lived on planet earth?
The green sea turtle is not extinct. However it is endangered. Recently, there has been a resurgence in this turtle's numbers.
What is a green sea turtles defence mechanism?
How do sea turtles protect themselves? The most obvious answer to this question is prominently displayed upon their backs. The hard, bony external shell, called a carapace, not only indicates the relative age and species of sea turtles; it also functions as a natural suit of armor.
Unlike land turtles, however, sea turtles cannot retract their heads and limbs under their shells. Their bodies are streamlined for endurance and speed in the water, which comes in handy when adult sea turtles are confronted by their primary predators: large sharks and killer whales. Ironically, the characteristics that make them powerful swimmers (large paddle-like foreflippers and smaller, rudder-like hind flippers) also make sea turtles clumsy and virtually powerless on land.
In addition to their shells, sea turtles are armed with claws on each foreflipper, large upper eyelids to protect their eyes, and acute senses of sight and smell under water. Neither sea turtles nor land turtles have teeth, but they have well-built jaws that vary in shape according to species and diet (herbivore, carnivore or omnivore).
What time of day do green turtles eat?
the green sea turtle swims in the sea, in the sometimes its on the sand, eating small leaves
What do young green sea turtles eat?
green sea turtles will eat kelp, crustaceans, other invertebrates and other types of aquatic plant life
How do green sea turtles reproduce itself?
Females turtles have a vent called a cloaca, and the male does have a penis. The male climbs on top of the female to insert his penis in her cloaca. The female already has eggs, the male just need to fertilize them.
Are green sea turtles cold blooded or warm blooded?
Like all reptiles alive today, green sea turtles are cold blooded.
How do green sea turtles catch their food?
the person who just replied before must be really mean! :(
i believe that your answer is right, person who wrote out the answer.
How can you prevent green turtles becoming extinct?
The first thing we can all do as a nation, is to stop using turtles as lamp shades. Its discusting and gross how people do this. In my opinion, if we didn't do that, there would be more and more leatherbacks here on Earth. If we had more leatherbacks, our national dept would deeply decrease.

How much do green sea turtles grow?
Unless you own a zoo, you shouldn't and can't buy a sea turtle...but lets say you did a sea turtle would cost tent housadn dollars or more, it depends where your buying from. :) hopefully this helps!
What special adaptations do green sea turtles have?
yes:
Many freshwater turtles in temperate climates may experience winter periods trapped under ice unable to breathe, in anoxic mud, or in water depleted of O2. To survive, these animals must not only retain function while anoxic, but they must do so for extended periods of time. Two general physiological adaptive responses appear to underlie this capacity for long-term survival. The first is a coordinated depression of metabolic processes within the cells, both the glycolytic pathway that produces ATP and the cellular processes, such as ion pumping, that consume ATP. As a result, both the rate of substrate depletion and the rate of lactic acid production are slowed greatly. The second is an exploitation of the extensive buffering capacity of the turtle's shell and skeleton to neutralize the large amount of lactic acid that eventually accumulates. Two separate shell mechanisms are involved: release of carbonate buffers from the shell and uptake of lactic acid into the shell where it is buffered and sequestered. Together, the metabolic and buffering mechanisms permit animals to survive for 3-4 months at 3 °C with no O2 and with circulating lactate levels of 150 mmol l-1 or more.
Why do green sea turtles eat jellyfish?
Sea turtles eat jellyfish because jellyfish are their prey and a source of food.
i think they dont get affected as because of their large size
Why do humans hunt the green sea turles?
Humans hunt turtles so they can eat the meat or turn it into local delicacy's, and to make the shell into ornaments that they can sell to people like tourists.
