The Leatherback Sea Turtle Leatherback sea turtles have lived in our oceans for 65 million years. They are the largest living turtles. They can be up to two metres long and often weigh more than 300 kilograms. They eat jellyfish and sea plants. They often live more than 40 years. Where Leatherbacks Live Leatherbacks spend almost all their life in the sea. However, females always return to the beach where they hatched to lay their eggs. They nest on beaches in the West Indies, in South America and in West Africa.
