Cool Fact

More Information

The green sea turtle gets its name not from the color of its shell (which is typically brown, gray, black and yellow) but from the greenish shade of its fat.

The green sea turtle, also known as the green turtle, black turtle, or Pacific green turtle, is a large sea turtle

A serrated beak helps these herbivores tear through vegetation. Their shells, which are lighter and more hydrodynamic than those of terrestrial turtles, allow them to glide easily through the water, while flippers enable them to swim long distances.

With a shell length of 3.5 feet and weighing upward of 400 pounds, green sea turtles are second in size only to the behemoth leatherback sea turtle.

Sea turtles are air-breathing reptiles remarkably suited to life in the sea.
