Sunny is the proud new owner of my first NFT sold! The Photograph shows a critically endangered Hawksbill turtle.
A great person called Sunny with the Twitter handle @sunnysangwan who also cares a big deal about the Marine Life, donated his hard earned money to protect our precious Oceans by buying one of my NFT Photographs which shows a critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle.
We will use 100% in our Marine Life Conservation Projects. On this page we’ll show how!
Hawksbill Turtle
This Photograph is the first NFT sold which was bought by Sunny
But first a few interesting facts about Hawksbill turtles:
- The Hawksbill is a critically endangered sea turtle.
- They evidently reach maturity after 20 years.
- Their lifespan is unknown.
- They can stay up to 45 min underwater with one breath.
- Hawksbill turtles are up to 114 cm (45 inches) long and weigh 50 to 68 kg (110 to 150 pounds).
- Female hawksbill turtles return to the same nesting grounds where they were born to lay their eggs.
- Coastal development has reduced the area where they can successfully nest, dogs and other animals often destroy their nests, and people harvest their eggs for food.
- Some of the sponges and small animals that the hawksbill turtles consume are toxic. Fortunately, their body fat can absorb the toxins without making the turtle ill, but their meat is potentially poisonous to humans.
- It’s estimated that only 1 in 1,000 hatchlings will survive to adulthood.
We will use this income in our upcoming Marine Life Projects and will show and update this table below with the amounts used!
