Sea Turtles

Sea Turtles have been roaming our oceans for millions of years. They are among the longest-living animals on earth and can migrate extraordinary distances, sometimes for thousands of miles, as they return to their native beaches to lay the eggs of their next generation. The mysterious sea turtle has inspired cultures around the world for centuries, but in modern times humans have reduced their numbers so severely that today six of our seven remaining species are now threatened with extinction. This beautifully illustrated portrait takes a comprehensive look at the lives of these astonishing creatures and their importance to our natural world.
