*** About Loggerhead Sea Turtle: The loggerhead sea turtle, scientifically known as Caretta caretta, is one of the ocean's most well-known marine reptiles. Named for their relatively large heads, which house powerful jaws capable of crushing hard-shelled prey, these turtles are predominantly found in temperate and tropical regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Loggerheads are considered a keystone species, playing a crucial role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, particularly through their diet of gelatinous prey like jellyfish. Unfortunately, they face significant threats from habitat loss, accidental capture in fishing gear, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial in ensuring that these ancient mariners continue to thrive in the world's oceans.
