Sea Tutles

Marine life flourishes in our plant’s oceans, a common factor these bodies of water share are sea turtles. I am going to talk about how these animals have a huge impact in multiple ecosystems, which includes their diets, breeding habits, and life cycle. Also, I will be discussing their history and evolution that directly impacts their anatomy, as well as, migration patterns, which leads into their extensive travels with a history that stretches back to prehistoric times. Finally, I will be going over many threats that these reptiles are susceptible to, and measures that have been put into place to ensure a safe future for marine turtles. The Wonderful Life of Sea Turtles When most think of ancient animals, dinosaurs automatically come to mind. What many people wouldn’t expect is that sea turtles are considered dinosaurs. These amphibious animals are over 220 million years old! Sea turtles play a huge role in their ecosystem that includes their diets, breeding habits and life cycle. Their adaptations as animals in the environment are fascinating, as well as, their anatomy, and their migration patterns, which is very important to this species of turtle. Being one of the most fascinating creatures in marine biology, it is a surprise that these reptiles are susceptible to many threats in the ocean. Some of the subspecies of sea turtles are endangered, so many ecofriendly organizations have sympathized with these reptiles, and with that measures have been put into place to protect sea turtles.
Sea Turtles In Their Ecosystem
These animals occupy two ecosystems that are very important to humans and themselves. They thrive in warm parts of the ocean, as well as most of the beaches throughout the world. Sea turtles in the ocean enjoy a diet of sea grass, which grows on the sea floor. They eat it down to short lengths, which maintain the health of the sea grass beds. If this grass grows too long it would disrupt the breeding grounds for many types of marine species,
