Loggerhead sea turtles are the second-largest of all turtles (behind leatherback sea turtles), with a shell length of nearly one meter and weight of around 250 pounds. They have large heads equipped with powerful jaws. Their upper body is reddish-brown and their lower body is usually pale yellow. Loggerhead sea turtles can be found throughout the world’s oceans, except for those near the poles. Even though they prefer habitats near the coast, they can just as easily be seen swimming through inland waters or miles out into the sea. Jellyfish, conchs, crabs, and fish form the majority of their diet, but they will also feed on seaweed occasionally.

Sometime between late April and early September, females return miles back to the ocean beach they were born to lay their eggs. They dig 3 to 6 nests during each season, laying around 100 to 126 eggs in each of them. The young hatch after about 60 days. Loggerhead sea turtles have been documented migrating across the entire Pacific Ocean! Turtle Excluder Devices (TED) is being attached to some shrimp nets to help lower the chances of loggerhead sea turtles getting entangled in them.

Longdom Publishing SL to accomplish its vision to make scientific information & health care open access has made a new initiation to enrich the scientific knowledge all around the world. As per the interest of the scientific community from Non-English-speaking territories, we have introduced a new feature in the name of language translation. Language translation helps the scientific community to go through the articles in Chinese, Japanese & other world languages.

A standard editorial manager system is utilized for manuscript submission, review, editorial processing, and tracking which can be securely accessed by the authors, reviewers and editors for monitoring and tracking the article processing. Manuscripts can be uploaded online at Editorial tracking https://www.longdom.org/submissions/entomology-ornithology-herpetology-current-research.html or as an email attachment to herpetology@oajournal.org.
