Additional information


Being the largest species of sea turtle, it can reach 2 meters in length, weighing over 500kg. The carapace is covered by thick and rigid skin, with a leathery appearance, with 5 keels or dorsal crests (7, if we consider those present on each flank). The color is bluish-black on the back and lighter ventrally, punctuated with irregular light spots, more abundant on the ventral surface. They are solitary animals that come close to the coast for feeding and reproduction. The diet is varied, including algae, jellyfish, echinoderms, molluscs, fish and crustaceans. Although it occurs in our waters, it does not reproduce on the Portuguese coast. Its distribution is wide-ranging, comprising all oceans, including cold, temperate, subtropical and tropical waters. It is the second most daring species of sea turtle in Portugal
