Thanks — that’s a reasonable figure. A 275-pound loggerhead equals about 125 kg (275 lb × 0.4536 = 124.7 kg).
A few quick clarifications you might find useful:
- Adult loggerheads (Caretta caretta) show regional and sex-related variation; 275 lb is within reported adult weights, though individuals commonly range from roughly 80–160 kg (175–350 lb) depending on population and whether the turtle is a large female or a smaller male/subadult.
- Typical adult carapace (shell) length is about 76–110 cm (2.5–3.6 ft).
- Loggerheads are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN and are protected in many places.
If you want, I can:
- Convert other weights or a dataset to kilograms,
- Compare loggerhead weights to other sea turtle species,
- Provide references for published weight ranges. Which would you like?
