It is mostly seen in shallow [[lagoon]]s and [[coral reef]]s where its food is. It is smaller than the [[Australia|Australian]] [[flatback turtle]]: it is usually a little more than two feet long. It usually weighs about 150 pounds. It has the most pointed [[beak]] among sea [[turtle]]s, which is how it gets its name. The hawksbill gets food from inside coral reefs, eating [[sponge]]s, [[shrimp]], [[squid]], and other [[invertebrate]]s. The hawksbill pointy beak helps the turtle get food out of the tiny cracks and holes in which it searches. Though they are sometimes seen in [[America]]n [[water]]s, hawksbill turtles almost always [[nest]] in the warmer [[climate|climates]] that run along the [[equator]]. Because people use the shell to make [[jewel]]ry and other things, the hawksbill turtle is endangered. {{-}} {{biology-stub}} {{commons|Turtle}} {{wikispecies|Testudines|Turtle}} [[category:Turtles]] [[Category:Marine reptiles]] [[Category:Critically endangered species]] [[Category:National symbols of Antigua and Barbuda]]
