What is a Sea Turtle?
Sea turtles are ancient marine reptiles that have been swimming in Earth's oceans for over 100 million years. With their streamlined shells and strong flippers, they glide gracefully through warm waters, from coral reefs to sandy shores. Depending on the species, sea turtles can live from 30 up to 80 years or more. Their shells are tough and patterned, acting like built-in armor, while their skin feels rubbery to the touch. Sea turtles do not make loud noises but can sometimes produce low grunts or hisses. They feed on a variety of foods such as seagrass, jellyfish, algae, or small crustaceans. After long journeys across the oceans, female sea turtles return to sandy beaches to lay their eggs, keeping the cycle of life rolling under the sun and stars.
