The leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) is the largest marine turtle and one of the largest living reptiles in the world. Leatherbacks are also one of the most migratory of all marine turtles. They are easily distinguished by their carapace, which is leathery, not hard like in other turtles, and by their long front flippers. It has been included in the IUCN red data list as Critically Endangered and under Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
