		Caretta caretta is widely distributed in coastal tropical and subtropical waters (16-20°C) around the world.
		Nesting of Caretta usually occurs in spring and summer, with variations according to the latitude and geographical characteristics of the coast.
		Caretta shows renesting frequency intervals of nearly two weeks; females usually lay between two and five times per season, depositing on each occasion from 40 to 190 eggs (mean: 110 eggs).

	Caretta-Caretta Turtles
		The Caretta Caretta Turtle is a specimen still living in the Mediterranean and it is possible to meet it there since it spawns along the beaches of the Laganas Gulf.
		The Caretta Caretta spawns always in the same beach where it was born and for this reason it is important to keep the conditions for the nests survival in order to avoid the specimen extinction.
		The nesting period is from June to August, months in which the females reach the beach to spawn.

	Caretta caretta
		On its present form the Caretta caretta has existed on the earth for 80 million years.
		Each time the female Caretta caretta returns to lay her eggs (from beginning of June through the end of August) she does so on the same beach she was born on.
		She comes ashore at night and pulls herself to the upper part of the beach where she digs a hole and lays up to 200 eggs before returning to the sea.

	Caretta caretta, Loggerhead Sea Turtle at MarineBio.org
		Caretta caretta (Linnaeus, 1758) is commonly called the "Loggerhead" sea turtle due to their overly large heads which is comprised of a horny beak which is significantly thicker than in other sea turtles.
		Two subspecies have been recognized: Caretta caretta gigas, found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and C.
		They may differ in the number of neural bones in the carapace and marginal scutes on the surface of the carapace, but the ranges overlap, and many authorities do not support the distinction (Ernst, Lovich, and Barbour, 1994).

	BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Although many abstracts are included in the bibliography, abstracts from the Annual Conferences on Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation, held in the southeastern United States, are not currently included.
		Virtually every citation has been checked to ensure accurate and comprehensive coverage of the literature on the biology of Caretta caretta and on fossils referred to Caretta or Thalassochelys.
		Corroboration has been necessary because many of the references, particularly old and obscure references or those not published in English, have been cited incorrectly by subsequent authors.
