The seven species of sea turtle - including the green turtle, hawksbill, olive ridley, Kemp's ridley, loggerhead, flatback, and giant leatherback - each with its unique characteristics and habits. Despite their ancient lineage, these animals are now threatened by human activities such as pollution, hunting, and habitat destruction.
