Leatherback turtles are the largest of all sea turtles, with some individuals reaching incredible lengths of up to 7 feet and weighing over 2,000 pounds. What sets them apart is their shell, which is not made of hard, bony plates like other turtles but is instead covered in a leathery skin that gives them their name.
Adapted for a life in the open ocean, leatherback turtles have streamlined bodies and powerful front flippers, enabling them to navigate the depths with agility. They are also remarkable divers, capable of reaching astonishing depths in search of their primary food source: jellyfish.
Leatherback turtles undertake incredible long-distance migrations, crossing entire oceans to reach their nesting beaches. These majestic creatures play a crucial ecological role by regulating jellyfish populations, thus maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
