Leatherbacks are gentle giants of the sea. Soft-shelled, deep-diving, jellyfish-loving ocean wanderers who can travel thousands of miles across the world. By supporting Buddy, we help protect the beaches she nests on, the waters she swims through, and the next generation of turtles following in her flipper-prints. Leatherbacks can swim over 10,000 miles a year, which is basically the turtle version of ultramarathoning.

Her speed: impressive.

Her stamina: legendary.

Her snack motivation: jellyfish.
