A Sea Turtle picture a day #14


Welcome back to a Sea Turtle picture a day. Today I figured that I wanted to change things up a little bit. The picture for today is a close up of a Green Sea Turtle(Chelonia mydas) face.
What really made me focus on this picture is the detail in the eye and also the facial pattern. The facial pattern on the Green Sea turtles head is unique to that turtle,much like a fingerprint is to a human. These facial patterns are used as an identification tool.
This picture was taken with a 70-200mm lens
See You Tomorrow
