Hello World,
Classified as critically endangered, the world's largest turtle is the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The leatherback turtle has more social weight of more than 1 ton! The leatherback turtle is so named because it is not distinctive bony plates on the upper shell, but the scale is flexible and covered with a thin layer of tanned skin. Dark in color with white markings and pink, a leatherback turtle is easily recognizable because of the seven thin ridges along the length of the carapace and, of course, because of its large front flippers. Leatherbacks are found in tropical and subtropical waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean. In the United States have seen in southern Florida in the Caribbean, they found on the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico and St. Croix. They may drop to 4922 feet, to seek a soft prey such as jellyfish. In the world of egg harvesting of the leatherback has led to a collapse of their populations. As we have learned, unfortunately, our ecosystem is co-dependent and highly unstable equilibrium. The overexploitation of eggs has increased populations of jellyfish, which can damage power plants, clog boat engines, and can seriously injure, or in some cases kill the swimmers in the shallow waters of the ocean .
Once the male offspring of the water, he never. Only female leatherback turtles leave the water and crawl on land to breed. As with other turtles, mating takes place at sea for accepting the female, the male is the head turtle, pinball, and biting movements. Interestingly, female leatherback turtles can mate every two to three years, and reproduce and leatherback turtles nest each year. The largest turtle nesting seasons of the function of the site. Leatherback turtle native of Paris Mina, Costa Rica nest from February to July, while the native turtles nesting in French Guiana, March-August While other female turtles always return to the same beach where they hatched their eggs, the female leatherback could go next to another beach in the same region.
Female leatherbacks nest above the tide line while digging in the sand with their flippers. A female leatherback turtle has the ability to establish up to nine clutches in one breeding season. A clutch contains about 110 eggs, 85% viable. The eggs hatch takes about 60 to 70 days. After hatching, the newborn country and avoid predators by the air itself, and crawl into the water to survive. Among those lucky enough to get him back in the water, most will die by drowning or by other predators in the air and water.
Leatherback turtles have existed for 150 million years. Unfortunately, their fate is similar to that of many other turtles - they are critically endangered. 91,000 women known nesting leatherbacks in the Pacific Ocean, the song is a bit disturbing 5000. It is urgent that we must take care of these amazing animals to achieve. If the turtle disappear, will certainly have a tremendous impact on our fragile ecosystem. Should we not have avoided the loss of these turtles, scientists predict the subsequent domino effect - the extinction of many other marine species. For this reason, the federal and state laws governing the life of the world's largest turtle covered. These laws must be strictly followed and implemented to ensure the survival of the leatherback turtle. It is not enough that the great leatherback seen in pictures. We must ensure that this beautiful creature can be seen in the wild by future generations.
