ok thnx 4 the info :)
It's a loggerhead
ok thnx..
it could also be a hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) . I will let an expert take this.
yup it's a young turtle.. the shell is about 25cm long
Would say a Kemp Ridley's but that still doesn't have the spiney look to it as much as your photo. Is that a young turtle?
