Green sea turtles are found in subtropical and tropical oceans worldwide, including the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. With a length of 28 to 60 inches and weight of up to 450 pounds, green sea turtles are some of the largest turtles around. Their smooth upper shell can be gray, green, brown, or black and their lower shell is yellowish white. Males are larger than females and have longer tails. Their preference for warmer waters, those above 20°C, is due to their sensitivity to cold and heat. Males spend their entire lives out at sea, while females only come out of the water to lay eggs. Adult green sea turtles are strict plant eaters and spend much of their time eating algae in the ocean or grass in shallow waters. However, young green sea turtles are also able to eat jellyfish, worms, snails, sponges, and crabs. Every 2 to 3 years, females travel to the same beach they were born to lay their eggs. She digs a deep nest using her back legs. Lays 100 to 200 eggs, and covers her nest with sand. The young hatch after about 2 months and head straight for sea. Some female green sea turtles have been observed digging a fake nest next to their real nest in order to deceive predators who might want to eat the eggs. Green sea turtles have been known to travel 3,000 miles at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour!

Longdom Publishing SL to accomplish its vision to make scientific information & health care open access has made a new initiation to enrich the scientific knowledge all around the world. As per the interest of the scientific community from Non-English-speaking territories, we have introduced a new feature in the name of language translation. Language translation helps the scientific community to go through the articles in Chinese, Japanese & other world languages.

A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing. Manuscripts can be uploaded online at Editorial tracking https://www.longdom.org/submissions/entomology-ornithology-herpetology-current-research.html or as an email attachment to herpetology@oajournal.org.
