Example 1:

Loggerhead turtles are the most abundant of all the marine turtle species in U.S. waters. But persistent population declines due to pollution, shrimp trawling, and development in their nesting areas, among other factors, have kept this wide-ranging seagoer on the threatened species list since 1978. Their enormous range encompasses all but the most frigid waters of the world's oceans. They seem to prefer coastal habitats, but often frequent inland water bodies and will travel hundreds of miles out to sea. The largest of all hard-shelled turtles—leatherbacks are bigger but have soft shells—loggerheads have massive heads, strong jaws, and a reddish-brown shell, or carapace. Adult males reach about three feet in shell length and weigh about 250 pounds, but large specimens of more than 1,000 pounds have been found. They are primarily carnivores, munching jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and even fish, but will eat seaweed and sargassum occasionally. Mature females will often return, sometimes over thousands of miles, to the beach where they hatched to lay their eggs. Worldwide population numbers are unknown, but scientists studying nesting populations are seeing marked decreases despite endangered species protections.

Example 2:

For the United States, Loggerhead turtles are very common in our neighboring oceans. However, due to environmental factors within and out of our control Loggerhead turtles are a threatened speeches for nearly 40 years. While coastal habitats are preferred, Loggerheads are known to travel numerous miles to nest and feed. They are widely known as the largest of turtles with the males growing to three feet in length and weighing almost a ton. Female Loggerhead turtles out travel their male counterparts to lay their eggs in the prime nesting locations across the globe. Loggerhead turtles are omnivores, eating both meat and plant based foods (Loggerhead Sea Turtle).

Example 3:

Loggerhead turtles are named for their large heads that support powerful jaw muscles, allowing them to crush hard-shelled prey like clams and sea urchins. The largest of all hard-shelled turtles—leatherbacks are bigger but have soft shells—loggerheads have massive heads, strong jaws, and a reddish-brown shell, or carapace. Adult males reach about three feet in shell length and weigh about 250 pounds, but large specimens of more than 1,000 pounds have been found. They are primarily carnivores, munching jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and even fish, but will eat seaweed and sargassum occasionally. Bycatch, the accidental capture of marine animals in fishing gear, is a serious problem for loggerhead turtles because they frequently come in contact with fisheries.

Loggerheads are the most common turtle in the Mediterranean, nesting on beaches from Greece and Turkey to Israel and Libya. Many of their nesting beaches are under threat from tourism development. Mature females will often return, sometimes over thousands of miles, to the beach where they hatched to lay their eggs. Worldwide population numbers are unknown, but scientists studying nesting populations are seeing marked decreases despite endangered species protections. Sea turtles are the living representatives of a group of reptiles that has existed on Earth and travelled our seas for the last 100 million years. They are a fundamental link in marine ecosystems and help maintain the health of coral reefs and sea grass beds.

Example 4:

Loggerhead turtles are named for their big heads that support masterful jaw muscles, allowing them to smash hard-shelled food like clams and sea urchins. They are less likely to be captured for their meat or shell compared to other sea turtles. Bycatch, the accidental capture of sea animals in fishing gear, is a serious problem for loggerhead turtles because they often interact with fisheries.

Loggerheads are the least rare turtle in the Mediterranean, nesting on sands from Greece and Turkey to Israel and Libya. Many of their nesting beaches are under threat from vacationers. Sea turtles are the living representatives of a selection of reptiles that has been on Earth and travelled the seas for the last 100 million years. They are a foundational link in ocean ecosystems and support and maintain the health of coral reefs and sea grass beds.

"Loggerhead turtles are named for their large heads that support powerful jaw muscles, allowing them to crush hard-shelled prey like clams and sea urchins" (Loggerhead Turtle: Facts). The largest of all hard-shelled turtles—leatherbacks are bigger but have soft shells—loggerheads have massive heads, strong jaws, and a reddish-brown shell, or carapace. Adult males reach about three feet in shell length and weigh about 250 pounds, but large specimens of more than 1,000 pounds have been found. They are primarily carnivores, munching jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and even fish, but will eat seaweed and sargassum occasionally.

Loggerheads are the most common turtle in the Mediterranean. Vacationing and tourism endanger the Loggerheads ability to nest effectively and safely (Loggerhead Turtle: Facts). Mature females will often return, sometimes over thousands of miles, to the beach where they hatched to lay their eggs. Worldwide population numbers are unknown, but scientists studying nesting populations are seeing marked decreases despite endangered species protections. "Sea turtles are the living representatives of a group of reptiles that has existed on Earth and travelled our seas for the last 100 million years" (Loggerhead Turtle: Facts).
