No, it is not a robotic turtle. The apparatus on the turtle's back is a satellite- transmitter that allows scientists to follow the turtle on her journey of hundreds (and occasionally thousands) of miles from her feeding ground to its nesting beach, to her feeding ground and back.

The information gained by satellite tracking will help conservationists and natural resource managers improve protection efforts for this endangered species.
