The turtle, Caretta caretta is a species of sea turtle with a worldwide distribution. It belongs to the Cheloniidae family.
These turtles have, on average, a final shell length of 90 cm, although individuals up to 280 cm have been recorded. An adult turtle weighs about 135 kg, while there are records exceeding 450 kg. Skin color ranges from yellow to brown and the eel is usually reddish-brown.
Until the turtle reaches adulthood, racial differences are not visible.
The sea turtle is found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea.
Greece (especially the coasts of Zakynthos – Zakynthos and Kyparissia National Marine Park) is the most popular nesting area along the Mediterranean, with more than 3,000 nests per year. The Caretta turtle spends most of its life in the sea and estuaries, with females only coming ashore for a short time to lay their eggs. It has a low reproductive rate: females lay an average of four clutches of eggs and then remain inactive and do not spawn again for two to three years. It reaches sexual maturity at the age of 17-33 and has a lifespan of 47-67 years.
