Diet
Loggerhead turtles are named for their large heads, which support powerful jaw muscles, allowing them to crush hard-shelled prey such as clams, horseshoe crabs, and sea urchins. They also eat small fragments of plastic, which they mistake for food. |

|
Like many other sea turtles, female loggerhead turtles migrate great distances to lay their eggs in the sand of beaches close to where they hatched decades earlier. Loggerheads' shells serve as important habitat to other organisms. As many as 100 species of animals and plants have been recorded living on one single loggerhead turtle! |
