TURTLE TURTLE!!!

Scientists recently discovered two loggerhead turtle feeding grounds that were previously unknown.  One is off the Southwest coast of Florida and the other is near the northern part of the Yucatan Peninsula.  Not only did this discovery reveal where the turtles like to eat, but also how they spend their time at sea.  Researchers found the feeding grounds by intercepting seven female loggerheads and installing satellite tracking devices on them.  The researchers then followed the turtles and found that some of them went to Florida while the others went to the Yucatan Peninsula.  These findings give conservationists the opportunity to better help protect the turtles.  Scientists are taking steps to understand why the loggerheads prefer these areas so they can know more about the turtles' habits.http://www.biologynews.net/archives/2012/02/06/satellite_tracking_reveals_sea_turtle_feeding_hotspots.html
