There are 7 species of Marine turtles. Which type is your favorite?
Turtles don't have teeth. Their shells are made of more than 50 bones fused together. They wear their bones on the outside, literally!  They have light spongy bones that help them float.
Hatchlings emerge from the coast to forage in the coastal shallow waters. They can spend up to 20 years lost at sea after they enter.
They can grow ginormous.  It's the survival of the fittest with them; only about 1 in 1000 turtle hatchlings survive to adulthood. But if they do survive, they always return home!
