There are 7 species of Sea Turtles:
Australian Flatback, Green, Hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley, Leatherback, Loggerhead
and Olive Ridley. Did you know Sea Turtles cannot pull their heads into their
shells? They are still protected by their thick scaly skin and large size.
However, even that can't protect them from everything. For more information
