Swedish dishcloth: Green Sea Turtle

39,00 kr

This Green Sea Turtle is breaking the water surface to get some air. Every 30 minutes they need to get to the surface to breathe apart from when they relax, then they manage to stay under water for up to 3 hrs.
The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles and live in all warmer oceans around the globe. Adults reach the length of 70-150 cm weigh 70-190 kg but there are species weighing more than 300 kg.
When the female is 20-30 years she starts laying eggs, every third-fourth year during the rest of her life.
She travels to a sought out beach, crawls up, digs a pit in the sand, places her eggs in the pit, covers it up and go back into the sea. When the little ones are ready they break out of the eggs and crawl out of the pit and down to the sea and swim. A lot of dangers are lurking and approximately only one out of a thousand turtle babies manage to reach adulthood.
Scientific name: Chelonia mydas
