Today we
have a very interesting article for our readers. It’s about a sea turtle. Not
just any sea turtle, it's about the world's largest sea turtle.
There are
seven species of sea turtles in existence. The turtle that we are discussing
today is known as the Leatherback turtle. These turtles are the largest type
among all the others.
The name
“leatherback” was given to them since their backs are covered with very thick
leather skin and not with a hard shell, like other turtles. These expert divers
can stay underwater for about 85 minutes.
The
female leatherback turtles come to the surface to lay eggs. Just like other
turtles they dig holes on the shore and lay eggs and let the baby turtles make
their way back to the sea.
Leatherback
turtles have very sharp jaws to help them to tear through their favorite pray
jellyfish. The beautiful sea turtle that's also the largest leatherback turtle
was found resting on the sand. We can assume that this cute sea turtle was
traveling the world alone and came to rest on the beach.
Some
pictures and videos of the turtle have been captured and are shared with the
world to see. Anyways here's another fact about the leatherback turtle, they
can grow fins up to about 9 feet taller than other sea turtles. Mind-blowing
right?
