Yet there are also large numbers of them in colder areas including around Massachusetts and New Jersey in the United States. They love to be in rocky areas and mainly stay in the shallow waters.
The head is elongate and tapers sharply to a point and the lower jaw is V-shaped. It clearly gives the animal a bird-like appearance. The hawksbill is a small to medium sized turtle. Nesting females average about 87 centimeters in curved carapace length and can weigh to 80 kilograms in the Caribbean. The record weight of one animal was 127 kg and was reported by Archie Carr in 1952.
