This Turtle Is Named After Its Pointed Beaks, Whic..

This turtle 🌊 is named after its pointed beaks, which resemble those of birds, Hawksbill 🦅.

They’ve existed for the past 💯 Million Years and they’ve been a fundamental link in the ecosystem far longer than humans have even been on Earth.

The Hawksbill turtle 🐢 is omnivorous and one of their 🌟 favorite diets is the sea sponge🧽 by feeding on this they help to keep reefs 🐚healthy.

The Hawksbill’s shell is colorful 🌈 and changes color slightly, when it is in warmer waters🌅, it lightens to a mellow amber tone, in cooler waters 🌊, it takes on a deeper hue in colder water.
