Sea Turtle Statue – A Beautiful Turtle!

Sea Turtle is such a beautiful statue!

In Continental USA there are 3 species of the large ocean turtles that nest. The Green Turtle, the Loggerhead and the Leatherback. To help you identify which of the 3 turtles this statue represents, we have posted an image of a live Loggerhead. Our rendition looks like it – doesn’t it? Besides the USA Loggerheads are also found in other locations around the world.

The Loggerhead in the statue is diving. You can see the indentations on it’s shell, just like is on the live turtle, like pieces of a puzzle. It’s flippers also look similar to the live one. Because the core of this statue is made of resin all of the markings on the shell and legs are possible. 

At a height of practically a foot, this turtle statue will make a statement in your office or home. The wooden base has a limited surface for a plaque,  2″ x 1″.

A typical adult loggerhead is 35″ long and weighs around 300 lb. It cannot retract it’s flippers under its shell. Other than females who come in to nest, loggerhead turtles spend their lives in thei ocean. They tend to spend 85% of the time under water and can stay underwater for half an hour. When born, the hatchlings only are 1-1/2 inches long and weigh 7 oz….so there’s a lot of growth that occurs before the loggerhead is an adult!
