Sea Turtles

                                          Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles are reptiles they also belong in a superfamily, Chelonioidea. Sea turtles live all over the world except Arctic region. Sea turtles weigh up to 80-100 lbs and they are six and a half feet long. Sea turtles live up to 80 years or more. Sea turtles eat jellyfish, seaweed, crabs, shrimp, sponges, snails, algae and mollusks.  Female sea turtles lay their eggs when they're  about 20 years old, they lay their eggs in the sand of the some beaches. Sea turtles are endangered because humans destroy the eggs of the sea turtles and can kill sea turtles by tossing trash into the ocean or they get caught by fishing nets. I hope you can help the Sea turtles from being extinct.
