The green turtle ( Chelonia mydas) from the family of cheloniiadae, this amphibian can be distinguished from other sea turtles because of its carapace, which is the top shell with eight shields crustal, two plaques on the head and a hooked beak, although the length of his body can reach 150 cm. The animal feeds on seagrass.
The green turtle is a migratory animal, which moves in the group for 2000 km to find a habitat suitable for your lifestyle.
The male of this amphibian can be distinguished from the female to his tail more robust, its
nails longer.
The mating season is from July to March: The females lay eggs (about 100) from the shell and soft white beaches. Where after 50 days of incubation, the egg hatches.
But of all the eggs laid a few turtles are intended to survive.
This species lives in coastal and pelagic waters in the vicinity of coral reefs close to shore to lay their eggs on the beach.
