The green sea turtle, or green turtle, is a large sea turtle found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world. It has a teardrop-shaped shell and paddle-like flippers. Unlike other sea turtles, green sea turtles are mostly herbivorous and inhabit shallow lagoons, feeding on seagrasses. Females nest on beaches at night, laying eggs which later hatch. Green sea turtles face threats from human activities such as hunting, pollution, and habitat loss. The hyacinth macaw is the largest parrot species, native to central and eastern South America. It is endangered due to habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade.
Whale Shark The largest of all sharks and the largest living fish, the whale shark is one of the most dramatic views of the ocean. Its large size, distinctive patterns and its enormous mouth make it instantly recognizable and can be commonly seen wandering near the surface in tropical and subtropical waters around the world. Their diet is based mainly on plankton, but also regularly feed on small schooling fish and squid. Unlike basking sharks, which simply filter vast amounts of water as they swim, whale sharks actively suck their prey before filtering efficiently and are sometimes seen in groups, feeding on high concentrations of food. Regularly appear in the same places at specific times of the year, probably to capitalize on plankton blooms and events such as coral spawning.

The turtle is a shelled reptile with a distinctive, streamlined body and four legs that end in webbed feet. They are known for their slow movement and gentle demeanor, often seen in ponds, lakes, and oceans. Turtles have been around for millions of years, adapting to various environments, and can range in size from a few inches to several feet in length.

Taxonomic status and biology of sea turtle[college of fisheries, Kishanganj]....AryanRoy28
Expected learning outcome: taxonomic status, feeding habits, distribution and description of sea turtles ; legal protection provided to sea turtle under international law ; Conservation goals and measure to protect sea turtles
Sea turtles are reptiles that live in the ocean.
Sea turtles (superfamily Chelonioidea), sometimes called marine turtles, are reptiles of the order Testudines and of the suborder Cryptodira.
They are cold blooded animals
1. GREEN TURTLES
The green sea turtle also known as the green turtle, black (sea) turtle, or Pacific green
turtle, is a large sea turtle of the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in the genus
Chelonia. Its range extends throughout tropical and subtropical seas around the world,
with two distinct populations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The common name
comes from the usually green fat found beneath its carapace.
This sea turtle's dorsoventrally flattened body is covered by a large, teardrop-shaped
carapace; it has a pair of large, paddle-like flippers. It is usually lightly colored, although
in the eastern Pacific populations parts of the carapace can be almost black. Unlike
other members of its family, such as the hawksbill sea turtle, C. mydas is mostly
herbivorous. The adults usually inhabit shallow lagoons, feeding mostly on various
species of seagrasses.
Like other sea turtles, green sea turtles migrate long distances between feeding
grounds and hatching beaches. Many islands worldwide are known as Turtle Island due
to green sea turtles nesting on their beaches. Females crawl out on beaches, dig nests
and lay eggs during the night. Later, hatchlings emerge and scramble into the water.
Those that reach maturity may live to eighty years in the wild.
It is illegal to collect, harm or kill them. In addition, many countries have laws and
ordinances to protect nesting areas. However, turtles are still in danger due to human
activity. In some countries, turtles and their eggs are hunted for food. Pollution indirectly
harms turtles at both population and individual scales. Many turtles die caught in fishing
nets. Also, real estate development often causes habitat loss by eliminating nesting
beaches.
HYACINTH MACAW
The hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), or hyacinthine macaw, is a parrot
native to central and eastern South America. With a length (from the top of its head to
the tip of its long pointed tail) of about 100 cm (3.3 ft) it is longer than any other species
of parrot. It is the largest macaw and the largest flying parrot species, though the
flightless kakapo of New Zealand can outweigh it at up to 3.5 kg. While generally easily
recognized, it can be confused with the far rarer and smaller Lear's macaw. Habitat loss
and trapping wild birds for the pet trade has taken a heavy toll on their population in the
wild, and as a result the species is classified as endangered
