carl linnaeus gave the loggerhead its first binomial name, "testudo caretta", in 1758. thirty-five other names emerged over the following two centuries, with the combination "caretta caretta" first introduced in 1873 by leonhard stejneger. the english common name "loggerhead" refers to the animal's large head. the loggerhead sea turtle belongs to the family cheloniidae, which includes all extant sea turtles except the leatherback sea turtle. the subspecific classification of the loggerhead sea turtle is debated, but most authors consider it a single polymorphic species. molecular genetics has confirmed hybridization of the loggerhead sea turtle with the kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, and green sea turtles. the extent of natural hybridization is not yet determined; however, second-generation hybrids have been reported, suggesting some hybrids are fertile.
