"Green turtles live in warm tropical waters from New England to South Africa and in the Pacific from Western Africa to the Americas.

They are called green turtles because of the color of the flesh. Chelonia mydas are one of the largest turtles ranging from 71 to 153 centimeters. They can weigh up to 205 kilograms. They have limbs that are paddle-like, which are used to swim. Their heads seem small compared to their body size."
