Loggerhead sea turtles are impressive creatures! 🐢 They have a distinct reddish-brown shell and can grow up to 3.5 feet long, weighing around 400 pounds. These turtles live up to 70 years and primarily eat crustaceans, mollusks, and jellyfish. They're famous for their long migrations and nesting habits, with females returning to their birthplace to lay eggs. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect them from threats like habitat loss and pollution. 🌊🐢 #LoggerheadTurtles #Conservation #Mari

A male loggerhead musk turtle from a small rocky stream. In prime habitat, loggerhead musk turtles can get in very high densities, and sometimes squabbling and fighting can occur. Typical confrontations involve biting the marginals (edge of the shell) until one individual retreats. #turtles #wildlife #sternotherus #animals #nature | Greg’s Turtle Haven
