Unreal Animals — Hawksbill sea turtles are critically endangered.
They are a rare and beautiful sight for scuba divers and a joy to photograph or video.
Their shells are ornate, making them among the most beautiful of all the sea turtles.
This is why they have been hunted so vigorously, causing their populations to decline to a critically low number.
But conservation efforts and more enforcement of hunting restrictions has caused their numbers to slowly recover over the past few decades.
