There are seven sea turtles in the world, and no two of them live the same way. One eats nothing but jellyfish. One is a vegetarian. One never leaves Australia. Answer eight quick questions and find out which sea turtle you are — every answer is a real animal, and everything the quiz tells you about it is true.
🔒 The quiz never asks your name, your age or where you live, and your answers stay on your own device.
A leatherback can dive over 3,000 feet — deeper than most submarines go — and keeps its body warm enough to swim in seas off Canada where no other sea turtle can survive.
Every question is about what you would like — what you would eat, how cold you can stand it, whether you want a crowd around you. There are no wrong answers, because each one nudges you toward the sea turtle that really lives that way. Prefer sponges nothing else can stomach? That is a hawksbill. Want thousands of friends turning up at once? That is an olive ridley and its famous arribada. The quiz is really an excuse to teach you seven animals at once.
