About the Hawksbill Turtle
Classified as critically endangered by the World Conservation Union, the hawksbill sea turtle was once the earth’s key source of decorative tortoiseshell.
Living primarily within coral reefs, the omnivorous reptiles’ favorite source of food is the sea sponge — making it one of the world’s only creatures known as a “spongivore.”
