Ancient Voyager - Leatherback Turtle 48" x 24"

This original acrylic painting of a leatherback turtle. They are unique sea turtles distinguished by their leathery, soft shell, lack of scales, and ability to dive to great depths. They are the largest sea turtle species, reaching considerable sizes and weights, and are highly migratory, traveling thousands of miles annually. Leatherbacks also have specialized adaptations for diving and maintaining warm body temperatures in cold waters.
