Common name: Hawksbill Turtle
Scientific name: Eretmochelys imbricata
Habitat: Rocky areas, coral reefs, shallow coastal areas, lagoons or oceanic islands, and narrow creeks and passes. They are rarely in water deeper than 65 feet.
Adaptations: It has a beak like mouth to capture food better.
Status: Endangered :'(
Current issue facing them: They are often killed for their shells and a lot of people like to eat their eggs. Or they can be accidentally caught in fishing nets.
I absolutely adore turtles they are so beautiful and amazing and graceful. <3 <3
