mascot nomination

For our class mascot, i would like Chelonia mydas, the green sea turtle. It is one of the largest turtles ranging from 90-122 cm and weight of 113-204 kg.  It gets its name from the greenish fat on its body. Our mascot should be Chelonia mydas because of relaxing personality, travelling in tropical oceans and near beaches. Also it was used as a fan favorite character in the Walt Disney movie "Finding Nemo", where the green sea turtle Crush helps Nemo get across the ocean back to his father.
