Green Sea Turtles are reptiles they can live up to be 80 years old. They get their name from an green layer of fat. They breathe oxygen but can hold their breath for 2 hours. They get rid of salt in their eyes by a salt gland near their eye. It makes them look like they are crying. When the females get out of the water to go onto the beach to lay their eggs they can lay up to 100 to 200 eggs. They usually eat jellyfish, mollusks, crab, squid, sponges, seaweed, and crustaceans. Green sea turtle will usually mate 2 to 4 years. They can get a disease and get multiple tumors on their skin and internal organs. Lots of trash left on beaches like plastic bags have been killing them off.
