Green Sea Turtle
The green sea turtle is the largest hard-shelled sea turtle in the world. Did you know the shell is its skeleton! Unfortunately it cannot pull its head into the shell for protection.
Green turtles can be brown & black as well as green. It gets its name from the colour of its flesh, not its shell. They are found in warm tropical waters, worldwide. Australia has some of the largest marine turtle nesting areas in the Indo-Pacific region.
