Sea turtles are mainly herbivores. Baby sea turtles only eat small plants such as algae. Adults sometimes eat jellyfish.

Sea turtles bury their eggs on land. At night, after they hatch, the babies will bright light such as the moon to find the ocean. But sometimes they are confused by electric lights from buildings on the other side. This is one reason that sea turtles are endangered.

Another reason sea turtles are endangered is due to pollution in the ocean. Also, humans will sometimes step on turtle eggs or gather them up.

Fun Facts:

• Adult sea turtles will return to the beach they were born to lay their own eggs.
• Individual sections on the shell are called “scutes” (pronounced “scoots”).
• Sea turtles emerge from their eggs at night so that they won’t be seen by predators.

Sea snakes are aquatic reptiles that are venomous. Their venom is very dangerous.

Sea snakes can stay underwater for a long time, but do have to come up to the surface to breathe. There are many different species of sea snakes such as yellow-bellied sea snake and banded sea krait.

Some sea snakes eat fish and some might eat eels. All sea snakes are excellent swimmers.
