A Leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), was found washed up on Harlech beach, Gwynedd Wales in 1988. It was autopsied and found to weigh 914 kilos (2,016 pounds) with a length of 9 feet.
Sadly this beautiful creature was trapped in fishing nets which caused it to drown before being found.
Next in line is the Galapagos turtle (Geochelone nigra) being the largest land dwelling turtle (more likely or properly being called a tortoise) with full grown adults weighing up to 900 pounds and growing as long as 6 feet.
