Green Sea Turtle

The green sea turtle is one of the largest sea turtles. They are named for the green color of their cartilage and fat, not their shells.

Thelopsis flaveola is a crustose, yellowish lichen producing tiny immersed perithecia on the bark of old deciduous trees. It inhabits humid, shaded forest habitats with old-growth deciduous trees in temperate and montane European forests. This lichen requires stable microclimate conditions and is sensitive to habitat disturbance.
