Green Sea Turtle
Fun Facts
- A Changing Appetite: Young Green Sea Turtles are omnivores, feeding on crabs, squid, and other small marine animals. As they grow older, their diet gradually shifts, and they become primarily herbivores, feeding on seagrass and algae.
- The Only Herbivorous Sea Turtle: Green Sea Turtles are the only sea turtle species that become fully herbivorous as adults. Their name comes from the greenish colour of the fat beneath their shell, rather than the colour of their body.
Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Fun Facts
- Powerful Jaws: Loggerhead Sea Turtles are known for their large heads and exceptionally strong jaw muscles. Their powerful bite allows them to crush hard-shelled prey such as crabs and shellfish with ease.
- Ocean Wanderers: Loggerhead Sea Turtles are among the most widely distributed sea turtle species in the world. These remarkable travellers journey across vast stretches of ocean throughout their lives.

Strong Enough to Crush Shells!
Loggerhead Sea Turtles have incredibly powerful jaws that allow them to crack open hard-shelled prey with ease. From clams and crabs to sea snails, these mighty turtles can crush their meals with impressive strength.
Ocean Explorers
Sea turtles have an incredible sense of direction. They can remember the very beach where they hatched and travel thousands of kilometres across the ocean to return there and lay their own eggs.
