With its distinctive side view, this species stands out among the rest. One breathtaking sight is witnessing a loggerhead sea turtle emerging from its shell in Dalyan delta, Turkey during the warm month of July. These turtles are not alone in their journeys; they often find companionship with other marine creatures. It's not uncommon to spot a loggerhead turtle accompanied by pilotfish like Naucrates ductor or even Imperial blackfish such as Schedophilus ovalis swimming alongside them. These unique relationships showcase the interconnectedness of life in our oceans.

Whether it's sharing their habitat with small fish or gracefully gliding through the water while being accompanied by various species, each moment spent observing these turtles is truly awe-inspiring. As we delve into history and artistry surrounding these incredible creatures, we come across depictions dating back centuries.

Not limited to just one type of turtle or location, engravings also depict other remarkable species such as the Leather-back Turtle and Egyptian River Turtle.
