I read this very interesting story on leatherback turtles in the May 2009 issue of National Geographic. Some of the interesting things that were discussed were the migration patterns for laying their eggs (some travel 6500 miles), what they eat (jellyfish), how much they eat (some that weigh 500 lbs can eat 500 lbs in a day), their weight (they can weigh up to a ton). Very interesting animal! Save the leatherback!
