    There are only eight species of sea turtles in the world. Sea turtles are highly endangered due to hunting, pollution, and accidental entanglement in fishing gear. They are threatened by hunting for their meat, eggs, oil, and shells. Plastic in the oceans is often mistaken for food by turtles, blocking their breathing and digestion. Sea turtles are larger than land turtles and cannot fully retract their heads into their shells. They can be found worldwide and migrate long distances to breeding sites, diving over 1,500 meters deep. While breathing air, turtles can remain submerged for up to three hours.

    cannot retract their heads completely intotheir shells. They have a compressed streamlined shell and broad
    flattened forelimbs for paddling. They usually weigh over 500 kilograms and the span of their forelimbs is
    over three meters.

    Turtles are found all around the world. Most migrate over long distances to reach their favored breeding
    sites. Turtles can dive down to depths of over 1,500 meters.

    Turtles breathe air, but they can spend as much as three hours submerged/underwater. They prefer open
