Save The Sea Turtles

Introduction

Do you like sea turtles? Because they don't like us, this is because people hunt them and we need to stop it!

 

Appearance

Sea turtles have a tough shell that is mostly the reason they are hunted. Sea turtles have four flippers, wings whatever you want to call them poking out of their shell. The head of the sea turtle pokes right out the front and has a beakish like mouth. People hunt sea turtles for their shells and even eggs.

Habitat

Sea turtles live in almost every ocean basin throughout the world. They often live among coral reefs and seaweed. Sea turtles live among fish and other creatures. Unfortunately their habitats are being destroyed by humans. Sea turtles are often disappearing from their habitats thanks to hunters so stop killing the turtles.

Food/diet

Sea turtles eat many things like seagrass. Another thing on their diet is algae which is a food source that most sea creatures eat. Sponges are another thing they eat. Unfortunately sometimes plastic bags are mistaken for sponges by sea turtles and sadly when they eat one it cuts their life expediencies in half. 

Protection

Sea turtles' shells are their best protection from other dangerous sea creatures. This is mostly because the shell is hard to break and what kind of sea carnivore would want to break through a shell just to eat? The shell may be a good thing for protection when it's sea creatures they are getting attacked by but not when it's humans. Humans hunt them for their shells so it's actually the opposite of protecting them.

Conclusion

Turtles are a water testudine with a tough shell that protects them. Sadly they still need rescuing from us, as people hunt and kill sea turtles so save the turtles!!
