    Fun Fact: The incubation temperature of green turtle eggs determines the animal’s sex, a warmer nest results in more females. Due to climate change and warming ocean temps this has led to an increase in female turtles being born. Though this may seem like exciting news given today is International Women's Day (go feminist turtles!) this means there are virtually no male turtles being born.

    Simple Math: 1 Female Turtle + 0 Male Turtle = 0 baby turtles. And no one wants to live in a world with 0 baby turtles.

    Sea turtles sometimes look like they are crying. These tears are from special glands that allow them to get rid of extra salt they get by living in salt water oceans.....or it could be because they're losing their habitat from ocean pollution. Don't make the turtles cry.

     Some turtles are carnivores, others are herbivores, and some are omnivores. Many baby turtles start life as carnivores but grow to eat more plants as they mature - BUT NONE OF THEM EAT PLASTIC. Reduce, reuse, and recycle, people.
