That is a beautiful portrait by the way :)

Hi Mohammed, if you click on the mission you will get the option to 'join mission'. Do this and then go back to this spotting, click on 'edit this spotting' in the top right hand corner and then you will see a drop menu a little bit further down - also on the right that says 'is this for a mission'. Tick on the mission you would like to join and save :)

Dear AdamBT, how I can add this photo to the mission?

Very nice!

Please consider adding this spotting to the mission Biodiversity of Thailand: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1253...

Thanks all :)

Sea turtles spend almost all their lives submerged, but must breathe air for the oxygen needed to meet the demands of vigorous activity. With a single explosive exhalation and rapid inhalation, sea turtles can quickly replace the air in their lungs. The lungs permit a rapid exchange of oxygen and prevent gases from being trapped during deep dives. Sea turtle blood can deliver oxygen efficiently to body tissues even at the pressures encountered during diving. During routine activity, green and loggerhead turtles dive for about four to five minutes, and surface to breathe for one to three seconds.

Turtles can rest or sleep underwater for several hours at a time, but submergence time is much shorter while diving for food or to escape predators. Breath-holding ability is affected by activity and stress, which is why turtles quickly drown in shrimp trawlers and other fishing gear.[

Amazing photo Mohammed!!

Nice.
