We've had the privilege of snorkeling with a juvenile green sea turtle. Have you ever seen one in the wild?

yeah they still eat meat as adults too, at my local aquarium they give them around 700-1000g of leafy veggies and around 100-200g of seafood depending on a variety of factors like age and weight

not herbivores but Def omnivores with more reliance on vegetation! great video!!!
