Caretta

The Atlantic loggerhead turtle is found in the waters off Canada's eastern coast. An adult usually grows to 1 m long (measured along the carapace) and about 136 kg, although animals measuring 1.2 m and 227 kg have been observed. In the open sea, these turtles spend much of their time floating on the surface of the water. They feed upon sponges, jellyfish, mussels, clams, oysters, shrimp, and a variety of fish. Nesting takes place in temperate waters and is usually accomplished on open beaches by the female, who comes ashore at night and digs the nest in the sand with her flippers. The round, white, leathery eggs, as many as 126 in a clutch, are then covered with packed sand. In a period of up to 68 days, the eggs which have not fallen victim to predators hatch, and the young loggerheads struggle to the surface and make their way to the sea.
