We went to the Cairns Turtle Rehab on Fitzroy Island. After work though we were able to snorkel and we just happened to run into this little guy. It is a Green Sea turtle. We learned that as they grow older they lose their scutes and just become more round in shape. They can live to be over 100 years old. In the wild there is this plant under water that they call turtle weed and that is mainly what they feed on along with squid, fish and jellies. We have seen turtle at the rehab center but it was quite remarkable to see them in the wild. They are very graceful swimmers but also extremely strong. Here in Australia they are home to 6 out of the 7 species of \u00a0turtles. I hope to see more when I’m out snorkeling again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
