Interestingly, the green sea turtle actually earned its name from the color of its fat rather than its physical appearance. One of the largest sea turtles, it can be found in oceans worldwide and has been sighted near every continent except for Europe and Antarctica. Although the green sea turtle is endangered, its important role in its ecosystem cannot be overstated. Green sea turtles are one of few creatures that eat and actually help maintain the health of sea grass, which is a necessary breeding ground for many marine animals. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages.

Despite its name, the green sea turtle s physical appearance is mostly made up of dark brown and olive colors.
