How do sea turtles measure up?<br />
You are a junior sea turtle biologist in the field. Can you identify the species of sea turtles you see<br />
just by their size? Use the scale, 1 inch = 18 inches, to estimate the turtles’ sizes. Use the size<br />
statistics on your turtle ID cards to determine the identity of each species. Measure turtles from tip<br />
of nose to tail then convert from the scale length to actual length. This will give you the actual total<br />
length (TL) measurement.<br />
