The green turtle is a large, weighty sea turtle with a wide,
smooth carapace, or shell. Weighing up to 700 pounds (317.5 kilograms) green
turtles are among the largest sea turtles in the world. Unlike most sea
turtles, adult green turtles are herbivorous, feeding on sea grasses and algae.
Juvenile green turtles, however, will also eat invertebrates like crabs,
jellyfish, and sponges.
While most sea turtles warm themselves by swimming close to
the surface of shallow waters, the Eastern Pacific green turtle will take to
land to bask in the sun. Green turtles, like other sea turtles, undertake
lengthy migrations from feeding sites to nesting grounds, normally on sandy
beaches.
