Hawksbill turtle is one of the animals which are critically endangered. They become endangered because of two reasons: climate change and human's greed. The climate change causes the loss of habitat and reduce the existance of coral reefs, hawksbill turtle's source of food. Sadly, humans kill this turtle for their flesh and shells, and eat their eggs.
Not particularly large compared to other sea turtles, hawksbills grow up to about 1 meter in shell length and 68 kilograms in weight. While young, their carapace, or upper shell, is heart-shaped, and as they mature it elongates. Their strikingly colored carapace is serrated and has overlapping scutes, or thick bony plates.
The hawksbill turtle's tapered head ends in a sharp point resembling a bird's beak, hence its name A further distinctive feature is a pair of claws adorning each. flipper. Male hawksbills have longer claws, thicker tails, and somewhat brighter coloring than females.
Hawksbill turtles are found throughout the tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. They avoid deep waters, preferring coastlines where the sponges they like to feed on are abundant, and sandy nesting sites are within reach. These highly migratory reptiles help maintain a healthy coral reef ecosystem.
Hawksbills are omnivorous and will also eat mollusks, marine algae, crustaceans, sea urchins, fish, and jellyfish. Their hard shells protect them from many predators, but they still fall prey to large fish, sharks, crocodiles, octopuses, and humans.
