The scientific family name for sea turtles and some freshwater turtles, one of the major groups within the order Chelonia.
Scientific Latin binomial nomenclature combining Greek 'chelone' (turtle) with the standardized family suffix '-idae,' established by Carl Linnaeus's classification system.
Chelonidae includes some of the ocean's most endangered creatures—loggerhead and leatherback sea turtles face extinction partly due to ocean plastic that they mistake for jellyfish, their natural food.
