This document summarizes information about two turtle species: the green turtle and hawksbill turtle. It provides details on their status, physical characteristics, habitats, diets, and predators. The green turtle is listed as endangered and feeds primarily on algae and sea grasses. It uses beaches, open ocean, and coastal areas as habitat. The hawksbill turtle has a curved beak and saw-like shell edges. It is omnivorous, eating mollusks, algae, and other marine life, and is commonly found near healthy coral reefs. Major predators of both species include large fish, sharks, crocodiles, octopuses, and humans.
