Loggerhead sea turtles are named for
their oversized heads. A sea nettle stings
its predator with numerous nematocysts
(a capsule containing coiled thread, lined
with barbs) and injects its toxins into the
flesh of the victim. Along the North Carolina
coast, two types of lobsters are commonly
found, Caribbean spiny lobsters and slipper
lobsters.
