Sea turtle

Sea turtles are truly a global species found in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. They have survived in the seas for more than 200 million years and are among a small group of reptiles that depend on the sea for survival. Unfortunately, all seven sea turtle species face many threats both in the ocean and on land including: mostly illegal hunting and egg collecting, loss of habitat and nesting sites, entanglement in fishing gear, and unusually cold weather.
