绿海龟因其身上脂肪呈绿色而得名,在海洋的生态系统中担当着重要角色。如果没有海龟吃掉海草,海草会长得很高,沉积物会遮挡阳光,并散播病菌。此外,海草很快便被绿海龟消化,变成粪肥,为栖息在海草附近的动植物提供养份。然而,由于乱捕滥杀和环境污染等原因,绿海龟已濒临绝种,在世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录中被列为濒危物种。为了更好地了解和保护这种濒危动物,让我们看看一只绿海龟从出生到成长,再到繁衍后代的全过程吧。
The Green Turtle, named for its green body fat, plays an important role in the marine ecosystem. If no sea turtles eat seagrass, seagrasses grow taller and sediments block the sun and spread germs. In addition, seagrasses are quickly digested by green turtles and become manure, providing nutrients for plants and animals that live near seagrasses. However, Green Turtles are endangered due to indiscriminate fishing and environmental pollution, and are listed as endangered species in the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. To better understand and protect this endangered animal, let us look at the whole process of a green turtle from birth to growth and reproduction.
