| Notes |
- Notes - The young Chelonia mydas is a purely vegetarian animal. It feeds mostly on seaweeds, with green algae predominating. The vegetarian habit of the young is evidenced by the form of the beak which is not adapted to catching fish. This is the reason why this particular species abound s in places where seaweeds are plentiful. The shoals and reefs of the Turtle islands are rich in seaweeds. During the day no turtles are found in these places; instead they rest at the ottom at about 10 to 12 fathoms. They usually feed at night.
