*** About Loggerhead Turtle: Known scientifically as Caretta caretta, the Loggerhead Turtle is distinctive for its large head and hearty shell. These marine reptiles are long-lived, with life spans that can extend to 50 years or more in the wild. They are primarily carnivorous, feasting on jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and fish. Loggerhead turtles are considered vulnerable due to threats like habitat loss, accidental capture in fishing gear, pollution, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to maintaining their populations, involving protected nesting areas, regulated fishing practices, and public education on marine protection.
