Sea Turtle

Description:

The most common sea turtle species in Hawaii is by far the Hawaiian green sea turtle (honu). They are regularly found resting under underwater ledges, basking on beaches, and nibbling on algae in shallow waters.  Despite their name, green sea turtles do not actually appear “green” – at least from the outside. Instead, the name “green” comes from the color of their internal fat tissue, which is green due to a diet that primarily consists of algae. Green sea turtles are commonly seen calmly cruising Hawaii's reefs, but when spooked can reach speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.

Stats:

The average shell length of an adult honu is 4-5 feet long
They can weight as much as 500 pounds.
Green sea turtles migrate long distances between feeding grounds and hatching beaches
Female turtles can lay between 65 to 180 eggs.
