The sea turtle has a thick, heavy, bony shell covered in platelike scales      Shells of the adult turtle are usually olive green or dark brown, marbled, or spotted with yellow      Like most turtles, the sea turtle has been hunted to the brink of extinction by man for its flesh, eggs, and shell      The sea turtle gets rid of excess salt water though a special gland near the eyes      The feet and legs of the tortoise are designed for walking. However, the sea turtle's feet and legs have been modified into powerful flippers that propel it through the water

The turtle's shell is thinner than that of the tortoise. Its head is too big to be withdrawn into the shell      There are 7 species of sea turtles, the largest being the leatherback, which grows to over 6 ft. in length      One of the largest of the seven species of sea turtle, the green turtle used to be common throughout the warmer seas of the world. Today its numbers are a fraction of what they once were      Turtles lay approximately 100 eggs in each batch. Several Batches laid over a few weeks      Sea turtles are usually solitary, except for nesting females and their young

Sea turtles eat crustaceans and fish when young. Adults eat plants only      Shells of the adult turtle are usually olive green or dark brown, marbled, or spotted with yellow      Female turtles leave the water for only a short time every other year to lay their eggs      Male and female turtles migrate to the same beaches every season to lay their eggs. They often return to the very beach where they were hatched themselves      The sea turtle can swim at great speeds underwater. It must surface to breathe, but an adult can stay submerged for five hours. Young turtles surface more frequently
