A loggerhead turtle
The West Indian manatee lives off the coast of Belize, swimming in the sea along the mangroves. But the manatee doesn't live there alone. Manatees share their environment with loggerhead turtles. Loggerheads swim out in the ocean for most of their lives. Then, once a year, the females return to the exact same beach where they were born to lay eggs in the sand.
