leatherbacks
Largest sea turtles
Leatherbacks are the largest species of sea turtle, distinguished by their leathery, flexible shells rather than the hard, bony plates of other turtles.
They can grow over six feet long and dive deeper than any other turtle.
The term occasionally extends to other animals with tough, leather-like skin.
