Fact 1: Sea turtles are strong swimmers. They have long paddle-like flippers to help them power their bodies through water. Some can reach speeds up to twenty-two miles per hour when frightened. Sea turtles enjoy traveling, and some sea turtles can travel over ten thousand miles every year. How excited Myrtle was to live in the ocean with all the motion, glide with the waves, and enjoy her days. Suddenly Myrtle encountered something along the way... Fact 2: Some turtle species are herbivorous; they only eat plants. Others are carnivores; they consume meat, like crab, shrimp, snails, and jellyfish. Then there are the omnivorous ones; they eat both plants and meat. Myrtle and Scout were having fun, traveling the ocean current. They had no doubt that friends would be made along the way. For kindness is the only way! They were happy as they went when they saw something down below. Grumble, rumble, roar! "What is that sound? Could that be me? I'm hungry," said Myrtle. "Without a doubt!" Scout replied. "But first let's explore the movement below and go very, very slow."
