Comments
British Indian Ocean Territory Turtles:
The Leatherback Sea Turtle is the largest of the sea turtles species. The Leatherback owes its name to the characteristics of its outer shell as it lacks a boney shell, making it easy to differentiate this turtle from other sea turtles. Instead, their shells are made of a tough rubbery leathery skin.
