Turtles are known as slow…but they can actually swim up to 22 mph! Sea turtles are reptiles that live in the ocean. They are can weigh up to 350 pounds. Depending on the species, they can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. Now that’s pretty cool! They love to travel, and swim about 10,000 every year. Although, when female sea turtles are about to give birth, they return to the same nesting area where they were born. Sea turtles have been around 150 million years! Compared to dinosaurs, they only became extinct 65 million years ago, so that makes sea turtles some of the oldest creatures on Earth. If you want to keep these awesome animals around, don’t pollute!
