Description
Sea turtles are remarkable creatures that can hold their breath underwater for up to 5 hours! Built for swimming with their paddle-like flippers and non-retractable neck and limbs, these marine animals are a wonder to behold. However, the survival of these amazing creatures is under threat. Almost all species of sea turtles are now classified as endangered, with three out of the seven existing species being critically endangered. Threats such as accidental catch in commercial fisheries, entanglement in marine debris, and destruction of beach habitat pose serious challenges to their existence.
