T is for Turtles: Facts About Sea Turtles

Disclosure: This post may contain referral/affiliate links.

Coral World TurtleOne of my most favorite animals is the turtle.  Here are some pictures and a video of some of our turtle adventures.

Sea turtles are mostly omnivores.

Sea turtles must come to the surface to breathe but they can hold their breath for hours at a time.

Sea turtles cannot retract their legs and head into their shells like a box turtle does.

Sea Turtle Coral WorldSea turtles eat jellyfish, crab, algae and more. Adults become herbivores.

Sea turtles mature around 30 years old.

Female turtles lay 100-200 eggs at a time.

The females leave their eggs in pits on the beach and after about 2 months they hatch and crawl back to the water (while trying to avoid predators like birds).

Hope you enjoyed your turtle facts for today.

And here is a quick video we took while snorkeling on a catamaran trip in St. Thomas, VI.

Have you ever swam with sea turtles?

Don’t forget to check out all the great blogs from the A to Z blogging challenge.  This has been a blast and I have met a lot of great new peeps.
