(10-29-12) — Green sea turtles — their legs and feet are as flexible as any other sea turtle’s feet — so even with only tiny, tiny, tiny toes, they will crawl to their roost, stay out of trouble, find food and even defend their territory! This behavior might be hard for some to accept but what they often can’t see, especially because of the tiny size, is the incredible amount of energy that goes into these turtles to survive when they’re faced with predators and other threats. So why have such little feet, how does one make up for that? What are their “secret muscles”? And where can one get the energy needed to keep a tiny turtle busy like it is?
On April 10th, 2007, for the first time ever, a female green바카라사이트 sea turtle was seen swimming in wakariki — just like anyone else, but under the guidance of professional biologists from the University of Hawaii Green Seas Turtle Program, the University of Washington and the University of Miami Beach Marine Center. Although these turtles are known for their ability to quickly adapt to changing conditions, they need a lot of care.
They don’t have much control over their environment, but their environment does control them. During an unusually heavy, high-ocean swell at the end of May, the ocean waters changed in surprising and unexpected ways; their waterway shrank almost overnight.
According to NOAA: “At high tide, this large swell of the Pacific Ocean caused the green 더킹카지노sea turtles to encounter changes in sea surface temperature ranging from minus 16 to 17 degrees Celsius. It was also a high-pressure system, and winds, waves, and storm surge in the area created conditions that led to the increase in the number of the sea turtles’ energy needs.
The increase in turtle movement during the high tide coincided with this high-wave condition and the abundance of fish caught in these shallow water areas, which is a common occurrence for the season.”
A little green sea turtle looks just like any other sea turtle. But its legs, feet and hands are much more flexible than other turtles’ hands. Unlike most sea turtles, this tiny green turtle doesn’t use only tiny, tiny, tiny toes to make up for the short legs. It also has more than 150 other small, highly specialized appendages in its body that allow it to adapt to environmental changes and change its behavior to make itself useful again.
