Hawksbill sea turtle
The hawksbill sea turtle is a sea turtle with a sharp, hooked beak and a shell with a saw-edged rear. It lives mainly in warm tropical reefs in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is critically endangered, and its flesh can become toxic to eat.1

El è mo nuschaivel, sch'insatge al mangia.
Quant privlus è el per umans?
Privel per umans: Fitg privlusEl po mazzar ina persuna che na survegn nagin tractament.The main risk to people is from eating its flesh, which can become toxic after the turtle eats venomous cnidarians (jellyfish-like animals). The sources give no figures for illness or deaths.1

It uses its strong shell to squeeze into tight spaces in reefs, and it may seek places where it can camouflage or hide from predators.1

Fatgs
It is biofluorescent and is the first reptile recorded with this trait, meaning it glows under certain light.1
Some sponges it eats are highly toxic to other animals, and it can eat them without harm.1
It closes its unprotected eyes when feeding on stinging animals, and the Portuguese man o' war's stinging cells cannot pierce its armoured head.1
Sponges make up most of its food, which makes it the only primarily sponge-eating reptile among sea turtles.1
Its shell was the main source of tortoiseshell used for decorative items.1
In the eastern Pacific, it nests and feeds mainly in mangrove estuaries rather than on reefs.1
