Green Sea Turtle [Chelonia mydas]

Green Sea Turtle
Description

Green sea turtles are graceful grazers that cruise along reefs and seagrass beds with calm, efficient swimming. Divers often enjoy watching them glide past in a smooth arc, occasionally pausing to forage or to breathe at the surface before returning to the dive.
