Closeup of Green Sea Turtle resting on sandy seabed beside corals

Glimpse of Aquatic Reptile Tranquility.

This video offers an intimate perspective on a Green Sea Turtle as it rests on the ocean floor. The clip focuses on the head of the turtle, revealing the small, blunt shape of its head and the serrated edges of its jaw, specialized for a herbivorous diet. The turtle's eyes are visible, adding a sense of calm intelligence to the scene. Its carapace, or top shell, is a collage of colors ranging from dark brown to black with occasional touches of olive, though the exact shade can vary depending on the individual and its age. The shot is still, almost contemplative, allowing us to observe the turtle's interaction with its habitat, the sandy seabed fringed with coral, without disturbance.

The Green Sea Turtle is known for its large, teardrop-shaped carapace, and adults usually measure between 3 to 4 feet in carapace length, weighing between 240 and 420 pounds. They are the largest of the Cheloniidae family, with the largest individuals reaching up to 5 feet in length and 871 pounds. The carapace color varies from pale to very dark green, plain to brilliant yellow, brown, and green tones with radiating stripes, while the plastron is lighter, ranging from white to yellowish. Notably, their name derives from the greenish color of the fat beneath their carapace, not the carapace itself. Their natural habitat spans all temperate and tropical waters around the world, often found near coastlines and islands within bays and protected shores, especially in areas with seagrass beds.
