This Leatherback sea turtle is huge 😱 Leatherback are the world’s largest turtles, they can grow to around 2.3 m long and weigh up to a massive 900kg 🐢 Follow @ fathomlesslife for more 💚 Dm for credit #honu . The leatherback turtle is a species with a cosmopolitan global range. Of all the extant sea turtle species, D. coriacea has the widest distribution, reaching as far north as #ArcticOceanAnimalsSeria #AlaskaSeaAnimalsSeria and #NorwaySeaAnimalsSeria and as far south as Cape Agulhas in Africa and the southernmost tip of New Zealand. The leatherback is found in all tropical and subtropical oceans, and its range extends well into the Arctic Circle. The three major, genetically distinct populations occur in the #AtlanticOceanAnimalsSeria eastern Pacific, and western #PacificOceanAnimalsSeria. While nesting beaches have been identified in the region, leatherback populations in the #indianOceanAnimalsSeria remain generally unassessed and unevaluated. D. coriacea distribution - yellow circles represent minor nesting locations, red circles are known major nesting sites Recent estimates of global nesting populations are that 26,000 to 43,000 females nest annually, which is a dramatic decline from the 115,000 estimated in 1980. . #LeatherbackSeaTurtlesSeria #SeaTurtlesSeria #TurtlesSeria #LeatherbackTurtlesSeria #GiantTurtlesSeria #GiantAnimalsSeria . #03June2018Seria #03JuneSeria 2018JuneSeria 2018sundaySeria SundayJuneSeria SundaySeria (Leatherback Turtle Working Group)

So little is known about Omura's whales that scientists are unsure how many exist or how rare the species is. To date, the team has catalogued approximately 25 individuals through photographic identifications (Reproduced from Cerchio et al. 2015) #WHOI #whale #rare #firstobservations #madagascar #october23ekim2015 #cumaekimseria #cuma2015seria #cumaseria #ekim23seria #ekim2015seria
