LOGGERHEAD TURTLES
Of
KEFALONIA ISLAND
GREECE
The Loggerhead Turtle is one of the seven different
types of turtles, the most popular being The Green Turtle. The Loggerhead got his name from its very
wide neck and sharp beak. Unlike the
tortoise whose shell is arched over his back, Loggerheads have a flat shell
that curves around his sides.
Loggerheads are the third largest turtle, the top being the Leatherback
Turtle who is all black, and the largest it has ever became was 4 meters (the
size of a car), and weighs 1 ton!!!!!! As
a hatchling the gender is determined by the outside temperature (hot chicks,
cool guys). Every time a hatchling becomes
older it always goes back to the same beach it was born to lay their eggs when
they are around 20 years old. They usually
eat jelly fish, but when people litter like a plastic bag or something that
looks like a jelly fish they will eat it and it will stay in their stomach and
they think that they are full and then they starve to death.
