Leatherback sea turtle shallower water at night (when the jellyfish rise up the water column). This hunting strategy often places turtles in very frigid waters. One individual was found actively hunting in waters that had a surface temperature of 0.4 °C. (32.72 °F). Leatherback turtles are known to pursue prey deeper than 1000 m—beyond the physiological limits of all other diving tetrapods except for beaked whales and sperm whales. Their favored breeding beaches are mainland sites facing the deep water, and they seem to avoid those sites protected by coral reefs. Adult "D. coriacea" turtles subsist almost entirely on jellyfish. Due to their
Loggerhead shrike length, tail length, and colour. "L. l. migrans" have a paler forehead than the top of the head. According to Mundy et al.’s 1997 study, there is a substantial genetic difference between the island subspecies "L. l. mearnsi" and the mainland subspecies "L. l. gambeli" due to a gene flow barrier between the two species. The loggerhead shrike is a medium-sized passerine. "Loggerhead" refers to the relatively large size of the head as compared to the rest of the body. It measures approximately 9 inches from bill to tail. The wing and tail length is about 3.82 and 3.87 inches
