Sea Turtles

By, Clara  Shangold

Sea turtles are turtles that spend most of their time in the ocean. They weigh 300-350 pounds. They can live for 80-100 years or more.They have been on Earth for more than 100 million years. They were alive when there were dinosaurs on earth. What they eat depends on what kind of sea turtle they are. Some eat jellyfish, seaweed, crabs, shrimp, sponges, snails, algae, and mollusks. They spend all of their time at sea except for when female turtles go ashore to lay their eggs. Some threats against the sea turtles are habitat loss, and the consumption of their eggs and meat.
