Most of the photos in this gallery are of green turtles. This is more a reflection of their habits than their dominance. Loggerheads are often seen sleeping, with their head in towards a rock, which is not a very photogenic pose. They are also sometimes seen feeding on cunjevoi and stir in up sediment in the process. Hawksbills can sometimes be a bit skittish. Green turtles are the ones most likely to be grazing and waiting for a photographer to pass by.
