Sea turtles are thought to have first appeared on earth over 200 million years ago. They haven't changed that much from what they looked like for 150 million years but there
are around 250 different species today. |

The largest turtle (leather back species) documented is 2.44 meters (8 feet) long and weighs 590 kilos (1300 pounds) and can live up to 80 years!

The protective shell of the sea turtle is so strong it can withstand up to 90 kilos (200 pounds) of weight. Unfortunately, disease from polluted waters and man's poaching of turtle shells and eggs has caused their numbers to dwindle all over the world.

In business, a "sea change" means a deep and fundamental change has happened in the way things are or are done. |
