The Hawksbill Sea Turtle is a “Critically Endangered” sea turtle.  It looks much like other marine turtles.  It can grow to be three feet long.    

The average weight of one of these turtles is roughly 180 pounds but they have been known to be as heavy as 280 pounds.  These animals eat jellyfish, seaweed, and even very small crustaceans.  Although they are not isolated to Hawaii, the best place to see them is in the water at the beautiful Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
