The biggest resident of the New England Aquarium (At the time I was there). This is a green sea turtle. They aren't actually green despite their name. They get it due to their green fat carapace underneath. These turtles are vegetarians, eating nothing but sea plants, but will occasionally eat jellyfish. The hatchlings appear darker than adults, and since the turtles are endangered, they're a protected species.
