Green Turtle vs Hawksbill 🐢 Of the 7 species of sea turtles, around the island we get Green Turtles and Hawksbills…but what are the main differences? Green Turtles a generally bigger and more active…as hatchlings, they can’t get to the water fast enough 💨 In comparison, Hawkbills are much smaller and a little lazier, with the hatchlings preferring to take their time and enjoy the view on their journey to ocean 🌊 #tracc #marinescience #marineconservation #volunteer #scubadiving #borneo #malays

All marine turtle footage taken in Florida was obtained with the approval of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) under conditions not harmful to marine turtles.
