HAWKSBILL TURTLE
This turtle owes its common name to its sharp, powerful beak,
shaped like that of a bird of prey. The specimen photographed here,
on a reef in the southern Red Sea, is holding a piece of soft coral,
but its jaws are strong enough to detach even hard corals. It has two
claws on each flipper.
