Loggerhead Sea Turtles

stop trying to! fishing is becoming a dangerous threat to them, as is boat traffic and diseases from gas and oil. If there is a spot of loggerhead turtles, please, help save this endangered species.

yes

Loggerheads are carnivores, meaning they eat mostly other animals. The baby loggerheads feed on small animals living in the seaweed called sargassum, where they spend early years. Adult loggerheads eat mostly bottom dwelling invertebrates such as whelks, other mollusks, horseshoe crabs, and sea urchins.

Primarily carnivorous during most of their lives. Hatchlings often eat sponges, jellyfishes, sargassum weed, small gastropods and crustaceans. Juveniles, sub-adults and adults feed upon conch, clams, as well as other crustaceans. They have powerful jaws that enable them to easily crush the hard shells of their prey. During migration through the open sea, loggerheads eat jellyfishes, pteropods, floating mollusks, floating egg clusters, squids and flying fishes.

They are consumers. They eat the producer.

All around the Florida keys Loggerhead Sea Turtles are found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans in temperate and tropical regions. See Related Links.

If you are bothering it, or hurting it, then it could.

There are many different reasons, but one of the main ones are the over harvesting for food and turtle products.

Only once..Springtime.

7-10 years old

One in one thousand (1/1000 or 0.1%). Lots of resources, but I used the number most commonly used in the literature. A source (I looked at many): Sea Turtle Conservation and Halfway Technology*

Sea turtles, especially green sea turtles, are one of the few animals that eat sea grass. Sea grass needs to be constantly cut short to help it grow across the sea floor. Sea turtles act as grazing animals that cut the grass short and help maintain the health of the sea grass beds. Sea grass beds provide breeding and developmental grounds for numerous species of fish, shellfish and crustaceans. Without sea grass beds, many marine species humans harvest would be lost, as would the lower levels of the food chain. The reactions could result in many more marine species eventually becoming endangered or extinct.

The loggerhead sea turtle, Caretta caretta, was given the English common name because it has such a large head. On this massive head is an incredibly powerful jaw that aids the loggerhead in consuming any type of food it can gets its mouth on. This can include corals, sponges, crabs, jellies, fish, other sea turtles, sea urchins and even octopi. They are true omnivores. This jaw is the most powerful jaw of all the sea turtles. Out of all the turtles in the world it has the second most powerful jaw coming in behind the Alligator snapping turtle.

Scientists estimate that there are currently 200,000 loggerhead sea turtles left in the wild, although exact numbers are difficult to track. As of 2014, they are considered an endangered species and are listed as such on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List.

Loggerhead Sea turtles can get to about 50 to 165 years old!

It means that people are unable to agree on something. They are at an impass.

Sea turles can travel thousands of miles in their lifetime, but always return to the same beaches to lay their eggs, year after year.

Loggerhead turtles inhabit the marine biome.
