So, what about these turtles and whales?

A sea turtle can weigh as much as a water buffalo. They don’t have teeth. Blue whales can be weighed as much as 25 elephants and it’s tongue weighs as much as much as a an African Elephant. In Indonesia only 5% of turtle hatch lings make  it to sea. Some Loggerhead turtles swim as much as a third of the world to find food. Sea turtles, when searching for food, can mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and eat them and die. Sponges and shellfish that are found on coral reefs are eaten by Hawksbill turtles. Lights along many beaches can distract turtles from the shore. Whales are oily and smelly (very). Whales have whiskers. The temperature of a human is about the same as a whale’s.
