Sea Turtles are the outcasts of the ocean. They are like meg griffin. No-body likes them.
Turtles don't breathe under water. They've got lungs - not gills. They hold their breath when they dive.
The adult Green Sea turtles only eat plants. Their favorite is sea grass. The will eat mangrove leaves that hang down over the water. Younger turtles of this breed will also eat fish, jelly fish, crustaceans, and algae. They are born as poor swimmers, so for the first several months they float along the top and eat shrimp that are in sargassum weed. They have very powerful jaws.
please help save them!wash them in vinegar to make them shine for a long time
The developing hatchlings do not have sex chromosomes so their gender is determined by the temperature within the nest.
There is a "pivotal" temperature which varies slightly among species, ranging between approximately 83-85 degrees fahrenheit (28-29 degress celsius), at which embryos within a nest develop into a mix of males and females. Temperatures above this range produce females and colder temperatures produce males.

There are several species of sea turtles (marine turtles). Some are omnivorous and will eat a variety of plant and animal life. Green turtles are omnivorous, but become exclusively herbivorous with age.
Leatherback turtles feed almost exclusively on jellyfish. Hawksbill turtles diet is 70-95% of sponges. Bearing in mind the slowness of a swimming turtle compared with the swimming speed of a penguin, I doubt that sea turtles even get the chance to actually eat a penguin.
120-175 years in the wild, 150-215 in captivity
They may eat a plastic bag, thinking that it is a jellyfish. The water can also be polluted and poison them. Their food dies, so they have nothing to eat. The beaches where they lay their eggs are polluted so they have a harder time finding a spot to make a nest.
Green Sea Turtles find their food inside sea water.
"Diet: The adult Green Sea turtles only eat plants. Their favorite is sea grass. The will eat mangrove leaves that hang down over the water. Younger turtles of this breed will also eat fish, jelly fish, crustaceans, and algae. They are born as poor swimmers, so for the first several months they float along the top and eat shrimp that are in sargassum weed. They have very powerful jaws.
Habitat: This turtle enjoys warm, shallow water, where there is a lot of sea grass. It lives most every where that there is sea water. But it is not found that close to the poles where the water is colder."

From the quote, it explains that they swim around to find food.
Adult greens eat more than seaweed, which IS algae. They have also been known to eat squid and octopus and even the very large greens love jellyfish. When born they are very fast swimmers, but very small and therefore vulnerable to many types of predators, including snappers and sharks. They are known to disappear for the first few years of their lives, called "The Lost Years" by researchers as it is speculated they float with the sargassum mats far out to sea, and eat larvae, small fish and algae. Once they reach about dinner plate size and thought to be about 5-7 years old they show up along shorelines and eat mostly seaweed. (reefannie)
because of byproducts and wastes
As i looked this up on goggle i saw many responses and noticed that there actually are a lot left in the wild all over north America but mainly in humid forest places where there's water.
There is no exact answer because animals reproduce.
Kemp's Ridley sea turtles are on the endangered list because people kill them for their turtle shell and sell them for people who make purses out of them. To help keep these turtles alive people who sell the purses rarely sell them now. So be careful what kind of leather purse you buy because if you love your sea turtles you wouldn't by them.
The optimal temperature for sea turtle egg incubation is 23 to 33 degrees Celsius.
there in the sane for about 2 months ''so about 60 days''
No, but it is the deepest diving sea turtle at about 1200ft.
The sperm whale is the deepest diving animal at about 2000ft.
"An international team studying diving capacity of two beaked whales species, Cuvier's beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris) and Blainville's beaked whale (Mesoplodon densirostris), discovered that these species achieve the deepest and longest dives of any air-breathing species. "

They tend to spend most of their time in the sea swimming.
I've heard some are rude and could do with a few lessons in manners. Once a turtle gave me bogus information for example; I did not appreciate this act
usually up to 10 but it can vary depending on your breed of turtle. They are known to lay up to 25.
sea turtles don't "swim" they float on under water currents. they have orifices that act as propulsion systems on the backs of their flippers. the laws of aerodynamics apply in the water as well as above it, so their shells aid them in attaining maximum speed. the dept of the navy has picked up sea turtles propelling themselves as fast as 220mph.
== "There are seven different species of sea turtles and the most known sea turtle is the green sea turtle. It can swim up to 20 miles per hour or 9 m/s."They also have little dicks!
No, sea turtles have lungs that can quickly refill when they come up to breathe on the surface of the water. Green and Loggerhead turtles can hold their breath for about 4 to 5 minutes during a routine activity. But Loggerheads are known for longer dives.
No. Turtles are reptiles, not mammals, and do not feed their young on mothers' milk.
