Magie der Meeresschildkröten

Elegant swimmers and fantastic navigators

When we think of turtles, the first thing that comes to mind is the large, 100-year-old Galapagos tortoises. Or the small, agile turtles from the garden pond at home. Hardly anyone thinks of streamlined bodies and flat shells, flippers instead of legs - and above all, no one really thinks of speed! And yet these characteristics are united in seven species of turtles around the world: the sea turtles.
