All six species of sea turtles in the U.S. are listed as threatened or endangered on the U.S. Endangered and Threatened Wildlife List (green sea turtle, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, leatherback, loggerhead and olive ridley). Sea turtles are aquatic reptiles and live most of their lives in the ocean. Sea turtles are excellent divers, the Leatherback species routinely dive more than 1,000 ft., and may reach depths of more than 3,900 ft. seeking jellyfish. Although they must swim to the ocean surface to breathe periodically, some turtles can remain underwater for as long as 5 hours without breathing! Currently sea turtles are endangered because not only are they hunted by people as a food source, but they are losing their beach habitat to recreational development, drowning in fishing and shrimp nets, and ingesting plastic trash. (Sea turtle research by Joslyn Biggins.)

Did you know? Every year leatherbacks travel 7,000 miles from Indonesia to the North Coast of Oregon to feast at the mouth of the Columbia River.

This leatherback sea turtle is 2 3/8 inches long from beak to tail. Made from moulded plastic, its realistic shape, details and coloring will be enjoyed as part of a school project, diorama, plastic animal collection, in a terrarium, as a party favor, or gift. Come see our wonderful assortment of turtle toys and gifts.
