The Leatherback Turtle is one of earth's oldest living creatures. Some scholars believe they have existed unchanged for 120 million years. It is the largest reptile on earth and lives entirely on jellyfish.
Males often exceed seven feet in length and one ton in weight.
It is the deepest diving vertebrate animal that we know of reaching depths in excess of one kilometer. It has one of the longest migrations of any creature that swims, covering as much as 16,000 kilometers in one year. See how really tough it is for hatchlings to make it.
