Letherback Turtle:
- The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the largest living turtle and is usually regarded as the only member of the same family (Dermochelyidae). Thus it does not count zoologisch to the family of the sea turtles (Cheloniidae), but is united together with these in the superfamily Chelonioidea. Their habitat is tropical and subtropical seas. So far, no subtypes are distinguished for this species. The animals reach a tank length of up to 2.5 meters and a weight of almost 700 kilograms.
- Similar to the soft-shelled turtles and unlike other turtles, the leatherback turtle does not have a typical dorsal shield with horny scales. The loosely connected bone armor is rather surrounded by a rough leather-like skin. The tank is elongated and runs to the rear pointed. On the blue-black back are clearly seven thickened bone plates or longitudinal keels to see.
