Protostega (SciiFii)

The giant sea turtle (Protostega magnus, name meaning "first roof") is a species of sea turtle that originally lived in what is now Kansas during the Late Cretaceous as an extinct species, Protostega gigas, and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the Pacific Ocean to help boost biodiversity. With a length of 3 metres (9.8 feet), the giant sea turtle is the second-largest sea turtle that has ever live, second only to the great sea turtle, and the third-largest turtle of all time behind the great sea turtle and the giant snapping turtle. The giant sea turtle is an omnivore and consumes primarily on a diet of hard shelled crustaceans, along with seaweed and jellyfish, and it also scavenges on floating carcasses, like other turtles. The giant sea turtle is able to produce powerful strokes necessary for open-ocean travel. Behavior-wise, it is very similar to the native modern sea turtles in locomotion, solitary lifestyle, and reproduction. The conservation status of the giant sea turtle is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the giant sea turtle's wide range.
