Leatherbacks are the world's largest turtle, weighing up to 1,000 pounds andreaching eight feet long, and they're also the oldest species of their kind,outliving dinosaurs. From March to August, approximately 6,000 leatherbacksjourney to the shores of Trinidad and Tobago to nest. You can spot them alongMatura, Manzanilla, and Grand Riviere beaches in Trinidad and Turtle Beach andEnglishman's Bay in Tobago (although contact the Forestry Division first for apermit). Or enlist a guide from conservation groups and eco-tour operators likeSave Our Sea Turtles and Nature Seekers. Lucky visitors get to witness a birth,or see the one-inch hatchlings scramble into the ocean.
棱皮龟是世界上最大的海龟，重达1000磅，身量可以达八英尺长，也是动物界中一种极为古老的物种，其历史科媲美恐龙。每年三月到八月，大约有6000只棱皮龟会到特立尼达和多巴哥的海岸安家。你可以在曼图拉、曼萨尼亚、特立尼达的大里维埃海滨以及多巴哥的海龟海滩和英国湾观赏他们（当然要通过林业部拿到第一许可证）运气好的游客，还能看到大龟生产或者，一寸大的雏龟爬进海洋。
