    Green sea turtles get their name from the color of their body fat, which is green because of the algae they eat.
    Adult green sea turtles prefer coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangroves, while hatchlings and juveniles live farther from shore.
    Unlike most sea turtles, adult green turtles are herbivorous, feeding on sea grasses and algae in the wild, while in captivity, they feed on lettuce and cabbage. Juvenile green turtles, however, will also eat invertebrates like crabs, jellyfish, and sponges.
    Green sea turtles are threatened or endangered and are fast and powerful swimmers, reaching up speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour.
    Happy Green Sea Turtle Day!

  • @Squirrely456
    @Squirrely456 5 лет назад +5

    For the people who want to be able to help them into the sea after hatching- even if you did that it would make very little difference in how many reach reproductive age, and therefore very little difference in the survival of the species. It's a nice thought, but the place people should help them is when they are adults or almost so and prone to getting caught in fishing nets and drowned. That's their biggest threat, so start with fishing boats if you want to save the turtles.

    • @paulspencer5467
