What structural adaptations do sea turtles have?
They get mad when another turtle takes it's place as the parent for the baby turtle's sake of life and death.The giant turtle will use it's structural adaptations to fight for it's child.It may bump the other turtle's shell then swim off, so it can make the fake parent of the baby turtle will follow it into some dark places in the sea then get lost.Then the real parent comes back to take the child far away from the false parent.
All turtles are born on the beach. The mother turtle will lay her eggs on the beach and then cover them in sand. The mother will then recede back into the ocean to wait for her offspring to hatch. When baby turtles are born, they usually go back to the ocean to be with their mother. I say usually because more often than not, baby turtles will be distracted by lights from farther up the beach and crawl onto streets and into the path of oncoming traffic.
What ocean zone does the sea turtle live in?

The leatherback sea turtle is a sea turtle, which is classified as a reptile.
No, turtles don't mate for life. In fact, turtles instinctively survive on their own all their lives, pairing only to reproduce but after the deed is done, the male leaves while the female lays her eggs on land, buries them in the sand, and then leaves them. No such bond or companionship exists in wild turtles.

Why does sea turtle camouflage itself in the reef?
The green sea turtle is pretty cool in its camoflauging abilities - its shell is colored so that looking up, its creamy undershell blends with the sky, and looking down, it blends with the depths of the sea. This prevents predators from finding it.

The leatherback sea turtles feed on jellyfish, tunicates, and other soft-bodied animals. Leatherbacks have delicate scissor-like jaws that would be damaged by eating anything hard and rigid.
HOW do leatherback turtles eat jellyfish?
Good question. Do they defend themselves by thick shells, or are they simply immune to their toxins? I would guess that they are immune, since I don't think that turtles have scales in their esophagus.
Why do sea turtles need to get rid of salt in their bodies while they're nesting?
The Green Sea Turtle has many special adaptions for life in the oceans. One of them is the ability to rid their body of the excess salt that builds up from living in seawater, and their diet. The Sea Turtle has a "salt excretory gland" behind, or in the corner of each eye, and this helps regulate the amount of salt in their body, thus maintaining a healthy water balance. It makes the turtle appear to be crying when they shed big tears, but they are really just adjusting the amount of salt in their systems. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

Could sea turtles survive in freshwater?
When in captivity, sea turtles should be maintained in water with a salinity level falling within a range of that of normal, natural, incoming seawater. Short periods of holding sea turtles in fresh water can be tolerated and are useful when prescribed by a veterinarian, e.g., to remove parasites and fouling epibiota such as barnacles. However, prolonged periods in fresh water should not be encouraged. Sea turtles are meant for life in the sea, so they do best in an environment with a similar salinity.
