| HAWKSBILL TURTLE : Eretmochelys imbricata. The Hawksbill Turtle gets its name from its hawk-like beak. It ranges in size from 30 to 36 inches in length. This turtle's shell is the source of "tortoise shell", and because of this commercial exploitation has caused their numbers to dwindle. Their shell and oils are in constant demand, placing this turtle in danger. | ||
