One of the world’s largest leatherback turtle’s has been found dead in a Cornish harbour.

The animal, whose species is ‘critically endangered’, was found on Friiday (8/9) in Portreath by amateur photographer Bob Philips, 73.

The turtle washed up in Portreath, Cornwall.

It is around six feet long and weighs around 200kg (31 stone).

Retired taxi driver Bob said: “I’m amazed at how big it is and decided to take a photograph of a man who was stood close by to show the true scale.

The turtle washed up in Portreath, Cornwall.

“He’s six foot tall – and the leatherback was the same size.”

In July last year, another leatherback turtle was spotted off the coast between Land’s End and Penzance after it got trapped in the ropes of a buoy.

The Marine Conservation Society say less than ten leatherback turtles are spotted in England every year.

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) ‘critically endangered’ status is the level before extinction in the wild.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
