The loggerhead turtle′s powerful jaws pack a serious punch, enabling them to bite through thick-shelled prey with an effortless crunch! They primarily eat whelks, conch, and crabs.
Loggerhead turtles get their name from their large head, which is slightly out of proportion with their bodies. Both the shell and skin of this species is reddish-brown with a pale yellow underside, measuring up to 1 meter (3.5 feet) from head to tail. Loggerheads can be found throughout most of the world′s oceans in temperate and tropical regions.
These sea turtles are spotted nesting on sandy beaches and swimming in waters near and far from the coast. A highly migratory species, loggerheads roam the oceans far and wide. They have a mind-blowing navigational ability, enabling them to return to the beach they hatched from and nest their eggs.
