*** About Loggerhead Sea Turtle: Known for their large heads and hard shells, Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) are robust marine reptiles found in oceans worldwide. They are primarily omnivorous and spend most of their life in saltwater, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. Loggerheads are designated as endangered due to threats such as habitat loss, fishing gear entanglements, and pollution. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the survival of these turtles, including protecting nesting sites and reducing bycatch in fishing gear. Loggerheads are known to migrate long distances between feeding grounds and nesting beaches, a journey fraught with challenges yet essential for their lifecycle.
