I used to own that book lol. It was printed in the 70s if I remember correctly. Possibly before they were considered endangered?

Loggerheads (Caretta caretta) actually eat mostly big crustaceans. I've seen them at public aquariums in tanks of several thousand gallons. Adults get to about three feet long and 200 plus pounds.
