 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

By breathing in dissolved oxygen through the papillae, sea turtles are able to spend many minutes underwater. Sea turtles are unable breathe underwater, so they must come to the surface for air. Sea turtles can use the formation of their shell to keep themselves submerged under the water for longer periods of time. The shell allows for muscles to expand and contract and this process allows for sea turtles to inhale and exhale through their lungs.[1]
The olive ridley sea turtle is an omnivore, meaning they consume both plants and animals such as, crabs, lobster, shrimp and algae. [2] Loggerhead sea turtles are carnivores and omnivores, however it depends on the age of the sea turtle. Adult loggerhead sea turtles are carnivores, so they consume other animals, such as crabs and conchs. The hatchling logger head sea turtles are omnivores, meaning their diet consists of eating both plants and animals. [3]
