The Green Sea Turtle. The carapace color varies from pale to very dark green and plain to very brilliant yellow, brown and green tones with radiating stripes. The plastron varies from white, dirty white or yellowish in the Atlantic populations to dark grey-bluish-green in the Pacific populations. Hatch lings are dark-brown or nearly black with a white underneath and white flipper margins. These turtles share a Habitat with the "black sea turtle" or the pacific sea turtle. This turtle has a symbiotic relationship with remoras, those fish that stick themselves onto sharks and manta rays, sometimes stick to sea turtles as well.This is mutualism because the turtle doesn't care but the fish get a free ride. The turtles can swim very fast which helps it survive in ts environment. They reproduce sexually and before they get together the male actually courts the female, more that one male can court a female at a time.
