The Leatherback turtle is the largest of all living sea turtles. It is also the only sea turtle to lack a bony shell. Leatherback turtle hatchlings are more delicate than other sea turtle hatclings and require even more specialized care in captivity. They are teathered by a swivel and fishing line to keep them from bumping the edge of the tank. Since they do not recognize boundaries; the hatchlings would simply end up hurting themselves by bumping up against the edge of the tank if left to swim free.

I have always been fond of frogs, snake, toads, lizards, and turtle. Box turtles top the list - they are a marvel - I love the way lock-down in their shell. This is an Eastern Box Turtle. I don't see these as often as I use to.
This large alligator snapping turtle decided to cross our lead track, and after rolling over top of it, we stopped switching to check it out. She was fine, just taking a shortcut to the stream, probably looking for sites to lay eggs.
Leatherback turtles are named for their shell, which is leather-like rather than hard like other turtles. They are the largest marine turtle species and also one of the most migratory, crossing both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Although their distribution is wide, numbers of leatherback turtles have seriously declined during the last century as a result of intense egg collection and fisheries bycatch.

Un adelanto del swap.
Les saqué una foto en una pose menos decorosa, pero no la subiré porque hay niños mirando. Además Flickr ha calificado mi cuenta como "segura", por lo que no arruinaré mi reputación XD
Ah, patrón sacado del libro que me regaló mi amiga Shih Yun.
