The loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta ), or loggerhead , is an oceanic turtle distributed throughout the world. It is a marine reptile, belonging to the family Cheloniidae . The average loggerhead measures around 90 cm (35 in) long when fully grown, although larger specimens of up to 280 cm (110 in) have been discovered. The adult loggerhead sea turtle weighs approximately 135 kg (298 lb), with the largest specimens weighing in at more than 450 kg (1,000 lb).
