 There are several species of turtle which weight upward of 100kg (220 lbs); the largest (Leatherback) weighs 645-907 kg (1,430 – 2,000 lbs), which is about the weight of a SmartCar. Depends on the generation, but for the earlier models it’s heaver, for more recent models it’s a little lighter (~50 lbs). |

Some people living near the Indian Ocean use remoras to fish for turtles; a rope is tied about the tail of the remora, which – being replaced in the water – looks for a turtle to latch on to. For small turtles, the remora’s grip is strong enough to pull both creatures on board via the rope. Here's a video where some fishermen use a remora to catch a ray.
