For those of you who don't know.
I have a great affection for sea turtles.
Most specifically, Loggerhead sea turtles.
Known for their large heads, hence the name Loggerhead.
Their jaws are powerful, able to crush the shells of whelks and conch.
Also known as Caretta caretta.
They average 36 inches long, but can reach 4 feet.
They can weigh almost 300 pounds!
They live 47 to 67 years.
They are omnivorous.
Yellowish in color with shells leaning towards reddish brown.
The momma turtle will travel about 7,500 miles to nest on the same beach she was born on.
The males travel to their birthplace as well to mate.
