📍Sipadan Island
It's my pleasure to swim with a beautiful green turtle in Sipadan. Other than sharks, jackfish, barracuda, bumphead parrot fish, we can also spot them almost every where. Common but beautiful!
There are fun facts about Green turtles.
1. The green turtle is the largest species of hard-shelled turtles, and is the second largest of all sea turtles.
2. Green turtles are 3 to 4 feet (91 to 122 cm) long and weigh 300 to 350 pounds (136 to 159 kg). 3. Green turtles are thought to live for 60 to 70 years, reaching sexual maturity at 25 to 35 years old.
4. Green turtles are named after their green-colored fat, which they get from their herbivorous diet of seagrass and algae.
5. Green turtles live all over the world and can be found off the coasts of more than 140 countries.
6. Typically, only female sea turtles will visit shores during their lifetime, but male and female green turtles are known to come ashore and bask in the sun on Hawaiian beaches.1
7. Female green turtles return to the same beach where they were born to nest, no matter how far it is.
