History
Because of their enormous size, leatherback sea turtles have exceedingly few natural predators when they mature, and are mostly vulnerable during the early stages of their lives. However, they are ultimately considered vulnerable due to human activities, the most detrimental of which is pollution. We’d love for you to take home this beautiful creature, but before you do make sure you have lots of room – they’re huge!
