Green turtles nest in tropical and subtropical regions - some of the biggest nesting areas are in Costa Rica and Australia.
The females lay about 100 eggs at a time. They will lay 1-7 clutches of eggs during the nesting season.
Although juvenile green turtles are carnivorous, feeding on snails and ctenophores (comb jellies), adults are herbivorous, and eat seaweeds and seagrass.
