Plastic Loggerhead Sea Turtle

The detail on this miniature makes it look like a photo from a magazine!

Our Plastic Loggerhead Sea Turtle

Our small plastic loggerhead sea turtle toy is just the right size replica for your animal life shoebox diorama. This small, loggerhead sea turtle model will fit in a shoe box along with examples of sealife from a Pacific reef. Add a manta ray, tropical fish or jellyfish; create a landscape with rocks, plants, seaweed, make an ocean or reef from anything that strikes your imagination, and there you go - a scene of life on our planet. Our plastic toy loggerhead sea turtle is made of solid plastic and is quite durable. Be sure to take a look at our other sea turtles.

About Sea Turtles

All six species of sea turtles in the U.S. (green sea turtle, hawksbill, Kemp's ridley, leatherback, loggerhead and olive ridley) are listed as threatened or endangered on the U.S. Endangered and Threatened Wildlife List. Sea turtles are aquatic reptiles and live most of their lives in the ocean. Sea turtles are excellent divers, the Leatherback species routinely dive more than 1,000 ft., and may reach depths of more than 3,900 ft. seeking jellyfish. Although they must swim to the ocean surface to breathe periodically, some turtles can remain underwater for as long as 5 hours without breathing! Currently sea turtles are endangered because not only are they hunted by people as a food source, but they are losing their beach habitat to recreational development, drowning in fishing and shrimp nets, and ingesting plastic trash.

Plastic Galapagos Island Green Turtle

Ask about our special on large orders of this item!

Our Green Sea Turtle

Our plastic green sea turtle measures 2 1/2 inches from nose to tail. "Green turtle" is the species, although this plastic turtle comes in brown. It's not so different from some of the turtles you see in the ocean, as their multi-colored shells are often blanketed with algae and various types of debris that drift onto the rocks and coral reefs in the ocean. Some green sea turtles nest in the Galapagos Islands, far out to sea on the Pacific Ocean side of Ecuador, and we've chosen to call this turtle a "Galapagos sea turtle" because we obtained it along with other Galapagos species of plastic animals. The easy way to find them if you're doing a Galapagos Island diorama or if you collect species from the Galapagos is to type the word "Galapagos" into our site search. You'll find it in the upper right of any of our menu pages or on the main menu page of our gift shop. Be sure to see our other interesting sea turtle toys and gifts.

Plastic turtle new in our gift shop

This is the first real (plastic) fresh-water turtle we've had in stock, and it's brand new to us this week! We have a large number of sea turtle toys and gifts in our shop (mostly plastic, but a few other kinds, too), and we've had a plastic box turtle for some time.

Our Plastic Toy Freshwater Turtle

This engaging, realistic-looking plastic freshwater turtle miniature is made of somewhat flexible plastic. This replica has a detailed shell and is painted drab green-gray. It may be a kind of pond turtle, but indigenous to China. This freshwater turtle makes for a nice pet, fits into a shoebox diorama, or serves as a great a collectible. Check out our other turtle toys and gifts.

About Freswhwater Turtles

There are about 46 species of freshwater turtles in North America. There is terrific diversity in size, diet, habitat and clutch size among freshwater turtles. All are threaten by loss of habitat, capture for meat, and by predators such as cars and raccoons. A freshwater turtle's shell is commonly called a carapace which is divided into scutes, while the bony belly plate is the plastron. Some freshwater turtles, such as the Western pond turtle, are good to keep in ornamental ponds while others, such as the snapping turtle, are a liability. Some turtles bask for long periods on floating debris while others, like the mud turtle, remain underwater for long periods of time. Freshwater turtles come in various colors of green, brown and dark yellow and each species has a different pattern on its back. The most common freshwater turtle is the painted turtle and is the ideal turtle for a turtle pond.

Plastic sea turtles make a big splash!

Sorry, I basically hate punny headlines. My fingers made me do it!

Thanks Sheryl!

The package arrived today - YIPPEE! My third grader is doing a project on the Leatherback Sea Turtle and we were thrilled when we found a site where we could buy "plastic" turtles. We are making a habitat and they are going to work out great! I will definately keep you in mind in the future as this is the first of many projects to come!

Thanks again for your prompt and professional service! It was a pleasure doing business with you!

Have a good day!
