1. leatherback

   The leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), sometimes called the lute turtle or leathery turtle or simply the luth, is the largest of all living turtles and the heaviest non-crocodilian reptile, reaching lengths of up to 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) and weights of 500 kilograms (1,100 lb). It is the only living species in the genus Dermochelys and family Dermochelyidae. It can easily be differentiated from other modern sea turtles by its lack of a bony shell; instead, its carapace is covered by oily flesh and flexible, leather-like skin, for which it is named.

1. leatherback

   The leatherback is a species of sea turtle known scientifically as Dermochelys coriacea. It is the largest of all living turtles and the fourth-heaviest modern reptile. The leatherback is unique among sea turtles as it has a soft, carapace covered by skin and oily flesh rather than a hard, bony shell. Its name comes from the texture of its shell. Leatherbacks are found in the open ocean, as far north as Alaska and as far south as the southern tip of Africa. Unlike other sea turtles, leatherbacks are able to maintain warm body temperatures in cold water due to their high metabolic rate.
