The largest turtle ever recorded is the leatherback turtle in September 1988. It was washed ashore on Harlech Beach, Gwynedd. Sadly, the turtle had drowned after being trapped by fishing lines. It was approximately 100 years old when it died. The turtle attracted worldwide attention as it was the largest and heaviest turtle ever recorded, measuring almost 3m (9ft) in length and weighing 914 kilos (2,016 pounds). The leatherback turtle is on display at National Museum Cardiff.
