sea turtle
A sea turtle is a large marine reptile characterized by a streamlined shell and limbs modified as flippers, adapted for swimming in the ocean. They spend majority of their lives in the sea, only coming ashore mainly to lay eggs. Some of the species of sea turtles include the leatherback, green, hawksbill, loggerhead, olive ridley, and Kemp's ridley. Sea turtles are known for their long migratory patterns and their lifespan can reach up to several decades. They are most often omnivorous but dietary preferences can vary with different species.
