what turtle gets its name from its exceptionally large head
I got very inspired while watching Blue Planet II. I enjoyed watching the green turtles being pampered at the reef's spa. However, I decided to paint a loggerhead turtle to raise awareness of plastic pollution in the ocean. Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are widely distributed reptiles and they can weight up to 450 kg. They are omnivorous, feeding mainly on small invertebrates. The loggerhead turtle gets its name from its exceptionally big head. They are an endangered species, illegal hunting poses a threat to their eggs. Turtles and other marine creatures get trapped in plastic nets, microplastic accumulates in organisms, and chemicals affect reproduction.
