Description

Hawaiian sea turtles, also known as honu, can often be seen swimming in shallow waters along Hawaii's beaches. These gentle creatures primarily feed on algae, seagrass, and other aquatic plants found in the shallow water areas.

In addition to plants, Hawaiian sea turtles may also eat crustaceans and mollusks when available. They use their powerful jaws to break apart their food and have specialized teeth to help them grind and chew their meals.

Although they are primarily herbivorous, Hawaiian sea turtles have been known to occasionally consume jellyfish, squid, and small fish.

It is important to remember that Hawaiian sea turtles are a protected species and should not be disturbed or approached closely when encountered.
