Green Sea Turtle

The Green Sea Turtle has a wide distribution and is found in subtropical and tropical seas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean.

Compared to fish, turtles need to appear to the surface to breathe. A notable feature of the turtles is that the females swim thousands of miles across the oceans to lay their eggs on the same beach where they were born.
