Sea Turtles

Hatchling turtles break out of their eggs by the use of an egg tooth. The egg tooth is a very sharp, small, white tooth on the tip of the turtles beak. It is the only tooth that the turtle will ever have. The baby will break a hole though the tough egg wall and then rest for a bit. Soon the baby will be back at the job and will use the egg tooth to cut though the egg enough to crawl out. Or he might break open the egg and then choose to sit in his egg for a couple days before finally coming out. Once the baby has broken through the egg wall the egg tooth pops off.

I am not sure how many there are. But people have been saying there are about 6,000,000 left in the wild. Doesn't sound endangered to me!

mare turtles. and here where you translate for yourself http://www.tranexp.com:2000/Translate/result.shtml

I'm not completely sure, but I think they're solitary. Yeah. They're solitary. They like they're space, man. I might be wrong, but, I doubt it. Anyway all the times I've seen green sea turtles, they are pretty alone. There's a small chance I'm wrong, but, I could be wrong.

That really depends on the type of sea turtle. I know that the Loggerhead Sea Turtle spends it's early life relatively close to shore until they are matured and then they move farther out. When they are at their adult stage they live at the bottom and occasionally come to the top. Females of course come ashore to lay eggs.

All turtles are consumers.

The green sea turtle is not extinct. However it is endangered. Recently, there has been a resurgence in this turtle's numbers.

No the shell weights a ton the inside of a turtle is light it can not pick up that much weight

That depends on the speed at which one is traveling.

Well, some adult sea turtles can live to be over 140 years old. If they get to their maximum size there aren't many things that can kill them and the things that can usually won't because of the trouble of the shell when a simpler and easier meal is just a quick swim away. The average life time for a sea turtle is only 20 years however, this is because the majority of sea turtles get devoured on the beach by gulls or foxes. The majority of the turtles that make it into the water are easy prey for medium size fish too. they can live for about 100 years

Yes they do in fact sea turtles also eat sea weed and fish and sea turtles in turn get eaten by killer whales,providing an effective food chain
I believe you meant how do they not get stung by jellyfish in which case sea turtles have a very thick skin and usually bite the jellyfish from above eating the main body and the beak usually shearing the tentacles of the jellies off. They do occasionally get stung, but it is not fatal thanks to many years of genetic evolution of the species.

About 45-55 days

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).

Big turtles can eat little sharks, but they might be too fast to catch.

They are endangered, and without them it could mess up the food pyramid. Like sea turtles eat fish and if there are no sea turtles the fish population will go up and be to big so there won't be enough food for them. And in many Asian stories, sea turtles bring good luck to people who save them. And sea turtles are beautiful for people to watch and be amused.

75-100

Green Sea Turtle (chelonia mydas) may reach up to the size of about 4 feet and weight of 440 pounds.

Hawksbill Sea Turtle (eretmochelys imbricata) may reach up to 3 feet in length and weight up to 300 pounds. (average weight 95 to 165 pounds)

Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle (lepidochelys kempii) may reach up to 2 feet in length and weight up to 100 pounds.

Leatherback Sea Turtle (demochelys coriacea) may reach up to 8 feet in length and weight up to 2000 pounds. (average 500 - 1500 pounds)

Loggerhead Sea Turtle (caretta caretta) may reach up to 3 feet in length with an average eight of about 200 pounds.

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle (lepidochelys olivacea) may reach up to 2 1/2 feet in length and weight up to 100 pounds. (average weight 80 - 100 pounds)

There is no difference. They are just two different names for the type of turtle.

yes they do they i have been studying them for most of my life and they can swim faster then most fish can they might not be fast on land but they are fast little boogers in water

Since dolphins are mammal they are mostly related to us more then fish. But dolphins belong in the cetacean group.

no that is very unlickley

they live in the ocean and on coral reefs, so coral reef is probably the most accurate

well if you take care of it , it could live up to 20 or 10 year or more or less

green sea turtles will eat kelp, crustaceans, other invertebrates and other types of aquatic plant life

yes it is called the green sea turtle

There is a species known as the green sea turtle, latin name Chelonia mydas. They are the slowest growing of the sea turtle species due to a diet low in protein. They are characterized by the starburst pattern on the shell and two scales between the eyes.

Sadly they are poached for their greenish skin :(
