*** About Sea Turtles: Sea turtles are ancient mariners of Earth's oceans, with their existence tracing back to the time of the dinosaurs. These marine reptiles spend most of their lives in the ocean, with females briefly coming ashore to lay eggs. They possess a bony or cartilaginous shell, evolved for protection, and their diet varies from jellyfish and algae to crabs and sponges depending on the species. Notably, sea turtles are crucial for marine ecosystems, helping maintain healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs that provide food and shelter to a multitude of marine species. Despite their resilience, many sea turtle species are now endangered due to threats such as habitat loss, pollution, and climate change, necessitating rigorous conservation efforts.
