***About Loggerhead Sea Turtles

***: Loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) are among the ocean’s most venerable creatures, often recognized by their large heads and heart-shaped carapaces. These marine animals are widely distributed throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Adapted to a life of navigation across vast seas, loggerhead turtles are primarily carnivorous, feeding on jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and fish. They are critical to marine ecosystems, helping control jellyfish populations and contributing to nutrient cycling. Sadly, they are threatened by habitat loss, accidental capture in fishing gear, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the survival of this species, which has graced our oceans for millions of years.
