B8 THE ASTORIAN • SATuRdAy, AuguST 10, 2019 © 2019 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 35, No. 37 Sea or marine turtles have outlived almost all of the prehistoric animals. Marine turtles were around during the time of the dinosaurs and are still present in the world’s oceans today. On today’s Kid Scoop page, meet these incredible creatures! Columbia Veterinary Hospital 576 31st Street • Astoria 503-325-2250 112 Garibaldi Ave Garibaldi, Ore. (503) 322-8411 In recent times, marine turtles have faced dangers. Entire turtle populations have been almost completely wiped out due to threats like hunters, habitat destruction, pollution, being hit by boats, and introduced predators. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service there are seven kinds of sea turtles: hawksbill, green, loggerhead, flatback, Kemp’s ridley, olive ridley and leatherback. Draw lines to connect the turtles whose shells are alike. One way to tell one type of sea turtle from another is to look at the pattern of scutes, or plates, on their shells. NOTE: Unlike other species of sea turtle, the leatherback does not have scales. Instead, it is covered with firm, rubbery skin with several long ridges or “keels.” Standards Link: Life Science: There is variation among individuals of one kind within a population. Migrating leatherback turtles have been known to dive down 4,600 feet (1,400 meters) to avoid sharks and other predators. They must surface every hour to breathe. Sea turtles and land turtles are reptiles and they both have shells. One way they are different is that a sea turtle cannot retract its limbs or its head like a land turtle can.

Sea turtles are long-distance travelers. Some species travel hundreds, even thousands of miles, from their feeding grounds to their nesting grounds. The adult females return faithfully to lay their eggs on the same beach where they hatched. ASTORIA | 503-556-0410 Help this turtle avoid the hazards and find her way to the island. The breeding grounds for the Pacific population of loggerhead turtles are limited to a few beaches in southern Japan, but adults are known to migrate incredible distances in order to feed. One turtle tagged in Japan was found feeding off the coast of Baja, Mexico, a distance of over 7,500 miles (12,000 kilometers). Loggerheads have been sighted from Chile all the way north to Alaska.
