EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases the serene beauty of green turtles resting on the vibrant seabed. The Green turtle, scientifically known as Chelonia mydas, is a magnificent creature found in warm tropical waters. With its herbivorous diet consisting of algae and sea grasses, this gentle giant can grow up to 1.5 meters long and weigh an astonishing 300 kilograms. During the breeding season, these remarkable turtles embark on migratory journeys spanning thousands of miles to return to their hatching site. Here, the female lays up to 200 eggs at a time, ensuring the continuation of their species.
