Green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) live in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide and come onto land only to lay their eggs. This species is endangered with extinction due to a variety of causes that include consumption of their eggs by humans and other animals, loss of beach habitat, and drowning in fishing nets. These turtles are known to More...migrate hundreds or thousands of kilometers from their foraging grounds to mating sites and nesting beaches and have been found in waters off the coast of Alaska and Great Britain.
