are turtles that live in the sea. They can be found in most oceans.

But they especially love warm shallow water.

Male sea turtles spend their whole life in the sea.

So they're great swimmers!

Their flippers are perfectly designed to glide them through the water.

Females are great swimmers also

and only go on the land to lay eggs.

They lay lots of eggs in sandy beach nests.

When the cute little turtles hatch race to the water.

Look at them go!

What else can you notice about the sea turtle? That's right

sea turtles have hard shells protection.

Their shells are very strong. Did you know?

That a leatherback sea turtles grow big..

That they are as heavy

as a small car? Longer than a grown man!

And can swim as deep as a submarine. Sea Turtles eat

everything from sea grass to jellyfish!

But sometimes they confuse plastic bags with food.

So be careful where you throw your rubbish!
