Sea turtles are ancient creatures that were here before the dinosaurs roamed the planet. At this time they are facing a high risk of extinction, especially the Leatherback Turtle. Turtles are air breathing reptiles that are found all over the world except the Arctic Ocean. They are very sensitive to smells and sound, since they hear through eardrums below their skin. Most turtles are mainly carnivores that feed on jellyfish, sponges, soft corals and crabs, but the Adult Green Turtles are herbivorous feeding primarily on seagrasses and algae.

They are also very relaxed creatures that mind their own business. So why are people in Costa Rica removing the eggs from their nests and selling them for human consumption?
I have no idea but they don’t realize what they are doing to these animals and to the habitat. Every animal is in this planet for a reason, including us, which is why we need to STOP THIS SHAMEFUL ACTS IN THE BEACHES OF COSTA RICA!
