The flatback sea turtle is a pale greenish turtle found along the northern coast of Australia and Papua New Guinea. It grows up to 3 feet long and 200 pounds. It predominantly eats squid, sea cucumbers, soft corals, and mollusks. The flatback sea turtle faces threats from saltwater crocodiles and sand monitor lizards preying on hatchlings. Conservation efforts aim to educate people and implement fishing regulations to protect the species.
