The novel “The Back of the Turtle” by Thomas King is relevant to Canada in both present day and history. Through the setting, characters and theme the story is portrayed in a way that makes it sound like a calamitous prediction for the future of Canada’s treasured natural world. Riddled with corporate greed and environmental disaster, the story follows those involved and affected by the catastrophe that destroyed Samaritan Bay. His lifelike characters are tangled with labyrinthine emotions that add another layer of complexity to the story. In my opinion, the novel “The Back of the Turtle” by Thomas King is a great novel because of the depth of storytelling that the author can achieve, and deserves to be recognised as a “Great Canadian Novel”.

Some species may see increases from declines of loggerhead sea turtles. Loggerhead turtles are species generalists and compete with other carnivorous predators whose diets overlap with theirs (Bjorndal 2003). Juvenile loggerheads and Kemp’s ridleys in waters around Long Island have substantial diet overlap and a decline in loggerhead sea turtles may reduce the amount of competition for prey, allowing the Kemps ridleys access to more

They are known for being active. They are known for being active because turtles are usually slow and it’s fun to watch them as they move and slide into the water and onto the rocks. Your turtle is going to move a lot when they get comfortable with their tank, so you won’t just see them not moving, they will always move. They will be hanging around the rocks you put in the tank with them because, to them rocks mean “comfortable” to them.

The mating season is between the months of March to October and the green turtles usually lay about 100-115 eggs which can take up to anywhere between 6 to 10 weeks for the eggs to hatch. To determine the sex of the turtles, the temperatures of the sand will be different for each sex. For example, if it is below 85 degrees it is usually male and if its above 85 degrees then it is usually female. When the young hatch out of their eggs, they typically make their way to the ocean where only few survive to
