__Leaterback seaturtles__

I read the coolest fact about leatherback seaturtles the other day!!! It said that the leatherback seaturtle can weigh between 650 and 1,300 pounds!! Imagine that! Bimini's gonna be BIG!! I also learned that young leatherback eat twice their weight in jellyfish each day!! Do you think that a swimming pool that is seventy degrees Fahrenheit is cold? Imagine being a leatherback seaturtle who's active in water that is around forty degrees Fahrenheit. That's cooooold!! Leatherback also have scissor like jaws which is an adaptation to what they eat.

__Loggerhead seaturtles__

The loggerhead sea turtles is seen the most out of all species of seaturtles! They are still endangered but are the most numerous. I wonder why they are more numerous than the other species of seturtles. Did you know that a female loggerhead can lay any where from 100 to 126 eggs per nest? That's a lot of baby loggerheads!! **__Green seaturtles__**

Have you ever seen a green sea turtle? If you haven't you will be able to easily tell if it is a green sea turtle after you read this.They are easily identified because they have a single pair of of scales in front of their eyes instead of two pairs like other species of sea turtles have.

__Australian flatback__

The australian flatback is endangered in many ways. These ways are capture, harvesting of eggs,destruction of beaches, ocean pollution, oil spills, and entanglement in nets. Wow, thats alot!

__Kemps Ridley__

The australian flatback is endangered in alot of ways, but the Kemps Ridley is the most endangered species. Imagine the amount of things that threaten this species! Poor seaturtles!!!!!

Hawksbill

Hawksbills have beautiful shells! That's mostly a good thing except for the fact that they are killed for that reason. People kill them because their shells make many beautiful products.

Olive Ridley

Olive Ridley females lay about 110 eggs per nest. If you think that one or two siblings are bad imagine having 109 siblings! I could NOT take it!!!!!
