Sea Turtles Are Vulnerable: When you think of a turtle in general you most likely think of the ones that walk on land and when you get too close they sink back into their shell. This is a way for them to defend themselves if there is a threat. When it comes to sea turtles that defense is nonexistent. They don’t have the ability to hide their head or legs in their shell meaning they are not susceptible to being attacked by a predator. Their only defense mechanisms are their hard shell and excellent swimming abilities.

Sea turtles they are great at swimming and the reason that you can tell is the amount of traveling they do. They have been known to travel up to 10,000 miles in a single year.
Sea Turtles Have A Home: Even though sea turtles are good at swimming and also do a lot of traveling they have a home.
