Underwater Wonders: The Sea Turtle 🐢🌊
Graceful, ancient, and mesmerizing—sea turtles have been gliding through our oceans for over 100 million years.
These incredible creatures can travel thousands of miles each year, navigating vast waters with an almost magical sense of direction. With their streamlined shells and powerful flippers, they make the ocean their home, only coming ashore to lay eggs on the very beaches where they were born 🩵
🌍 Fun Facts:
Some turtles can swim over 20,000 km annually💛, can you believe?!
They have an amazing ability to “sense” Earth’s magnetic fields, helping them navigate across oceans. 🧭
Leatherbacks, the largest species, can weigh up to 700 kg! 💪
Sadly, many turtle species are now endangered due to pollution, habitat loss, and poaching. Let’s do our part to protect these incredible travelers of the sea.
When crossing one while diving, snorkeling, swimming, don’t touch, just watch the magnificent marine life!
