Explore the depths of the ocean as you observe a loggerhead sea turtle’s intricate feeding behavior. Watch in awe as it meticulously crunches through a conch shell or crab shell, revealing the incredible adaptation of its strong jaws. This video offers a deeper understanding of marine life and the survival strategies these turtles employ in their underwater habitat. 🌊🐢 #turtle #turtles #tortuga #turtleturtle #turtlelife #turtlelover #turtlelove #turtlelovers #tortugas turtletime #turtleday #tu

Happy #SeaTurtleWeek! Did you know that by mapping the migration routes of tagged loggerhead sea turtles, we can see that they base their course on a specific chlorophyll and temperature gradient? In other words, they prefer a narrow band of more temperate ocean conditions—not too hot and not too cold.

Have you ever wondered where recovered sea turtles go after we release them? After almost nine months of care, Himalayan Salt was outfitted with a tracking tag and released off Cape Cod in September. Check out the loggerhead’s journey!📍 🐢 We use different forms of tagging to track a turtle’s migration to warmer waters. If turtles are large enough, they may receive a satellite tag. These sophisticated tags provide information on the turtle’s location, and some tag models also tell us about wate

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! Today we celebrate, "Sustaining all life on Earth." Our PhD led research biologists monitor one of the most densely nested loggerhead sea turtle beaches in the world and work tirelessly to protect nesting leatherback, green, and loggerhead sea turtles. It's estimated that over 1.35 million sea turtle hatchlings were produced on our 9.5 mile stretch of beach last nesting season! Our beaches are a critical habitat for these nesting and hatching sea turtles, making it vital

Zero time wasted. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service captured this loggerhead sea turtle hatchling making its way from the nest where it was born straight to the ocean at Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. "Instinct kicks in fast," the USFWS wrote. #SeaTurtle #Turtle #Loggerhead #Earth #Nature #Ocean | Environmental Defense Fund
