This is vector illustration of Leatherback Sea Turtle.

Leatherback Sea Turtle is called Penyu Belimbing in Malay, maybe because it's carapace (upper shell) looks like a "belimbing" (a kind of sour fruit). This reptile said to be one of the oldest in it's group. Scientific name is Dermochelys coriacea.

Dulu di tempat aku tinggal ini banyak terdapat penyu jenis ini(iaitu ketika mereka naik ke pantai untuk bertelur sekitar bulan Ogos setiap tahun). Tapi sekarang telah agak pupus. Dikatakan saiznya boleh mencapai hingga sebesar sebuah kereta
