The Green Sea Turtle is a large marine reptile. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 2 and Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The Green Sea Turtle is one of seven species extant turtle that are adapted for life in the sea. Despite its name, the green sea turtle is an olive/black coloration - the name comes from the color of its fat. Adults can reach lengths of 1.5m (5ft) long and weigh up to 190kg (419lb), but individuals weighing 395kg (871lb) have been recorded. Like all sea turtles, its front legs are paddle-shaped, which it uses to swim long distances in search of food.
Unlike many other sea turtles, the green sea turtle is primarily herbivorous, feeding mainly on sea grasses and algae using its serrated jaw. Almost entirely aquatic and preferring to live in warm coastal waters, female green sea turtles will only come out of the water to lay their eggs. A female may lay up to 200 eggs on the beach and will always return to the same shore she herself hatched from. The green sea turtle can live for up to 80 years in the wild, but the species is considered endangered and is protected by law in many countries.
Wildlife Park 2[]
| “ | Lat. name: Chelonia mydas. The Green Sea Turtle is found mainly in tropical and sub-tropical waters. It has a dark green carapace consisting of smooth plates and sometimes interspersed with yellow stripes. It features a narrow head and strong fins. Both head and fins are covered in scales and are lightly edged. The green sea turtle can weigh between 65 and 300 kg and achieve a length of 1.0 - 1.2m. There is a salt gland behind the eyes which can secrete a superfluous salty liquid. This is often mistaken for tears. Green sea turtles feed on sea grass, mangrove roots and leaves. Juveniles feed on jellyfish, sponges and molluscs. Green sea turtles lay a large number of eggs (approx. 100 - 150) into nests on land. However, only a small proportion of young survives, as they are easy prey for crabs and sea birds on their way from the nest to the sea. The green sea turtle was hunted during the 18th Century for food. For example, it was used as live provision onboard ships as it is able to live without food for long periods of time. Meanwhile the green sea turtle is under international protection, as this species almost became extinct due to the large demand for soup turtle meat. | ” |
