When Green Turtles are born, they are only 2 inches long. But they grow up to 5 feet in length and can weigh over 700 lbs, making them the largest of the hard shell sea turtles. The dorsal shell of the green turtle, is wide, smooth, and brownish olive color.
Green sea turtles are able to hold their breath for hours at a time, because they are cold blooded and if the water is colder then they can hold their breath longer.
There are two types of green turtles, the Atlantic green turtle and the Eastern Pacific green turtle.
To reach their nesting grounds, green turtles migrate long distances, traveling back to the beaches where they were born.
