Uniformly scaled by internal carapace length from anterior to posterior shell endpoints, calibrated; the pose is not stretched to every descriptive dimension.
Adult Female Green Sea Turtle
An adult female green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) is represented in a strict orthographic top view and calm symmetrical glide. Scale is controlled by the 1.07 m mean carapace length published for nesting females in the Great Barrier Reef population, whose reported range is 0.91–1.24 m and mean mass is 130 kg. The smooth oval-to-heart-shaped shell, relatively small head, and four flippers retain natural proportions.

Measurement basis
The internal carapace segment is the scale anchor; natural flipper spread is not treated as a fixed width.
