These giant turtles have a shell that extends to cover most of their tail and neck; its smooth contours broken up by the ridge lines running its length. Unlike most of the shell with its dark hues these have sandy coloured ringlets adorning their peaks. They spend most of their time lying in wait for some unfortunate creature to swim past where they can either grab them from their shelter or dash into the open seas with short bursts of speed. Little escapes their grasp. Instinct: Scavange food
