🐢Leatherback turtle
Deri sırtlı deniz kaplumbağası (Dermochelys coriacea), 2 metreye ulaşabilen boyu ve 600 kilograma varabilen ağırlığıyla, yaşayan en büyük kaplumbağadır. Tüm tropikal ve tropik altı okyanuslarda bulunan deri sırtlı deniz kaplumbağası(kısa: DSDK), Dermochelys cinsi ve Dermochelyidae familyası içinde varlığını sürdüren tek türdür. Deri sırtlılar, yalnızca büyüklükleriyle değil, kabuklarının temelde bağ dokudan oluşması ve kendi boyutlarındaki bir sürüngenden beklenebilecek olanın üç katı kadar metabolizma hızına sahip olmaları gibi eşsiz özellikleriyle de diğer deniz kaplumbağalarından ayrılırlar.
