Green Turtle

Chelonia mydas

Description:

Most people don't usually associates Sea Turtles with camouflage but actually they do. The bottom of their body is mostly white, which gives them camouflage when swimming in the water column as their predators, usually Sharks are likely to attack from under them. When they are resting among the corals, the markings on their shells gives them camouflage among the surroundings and can be difficult to spot.
