The green turtle (Chelonia mydas) is a large sea turtle belonging to the family Cheloniidae. Despite the turtle's common name, it is lightly-colored all around while its carapace's hues range from olive-brown to black. The turtle is actually named for the greenish coloration of its fat and flesh. Photo credit: Mila Zinkova Recently featured: Milky Way - Ensay, Victoria - Large brown mantid |
