绿色海龟C. mydas表现出独特的体温调节适应组合。多通道遥测的温度资料表明，这是一次区域性的吸热活动。一只剧烈游泳的海龟的体温（胸部）为37.1 ℃。在29.1 ℃水中，C.不活跃的成年人是1.度。℃下高于水温。从海龟身体其他部位遥测的温度和休息个体的温度表明，只有活动组织而不是整个身体处于高温状态。由于体型大和外壳的隔热性能，热量保留在活动组织中。温暖的胸肌（7度）水温高于摄氏度）可能会增加这种海龟的游泳能力，并可能促进其长距离迁移。
The green turtle, C. mydas, exhibits a unique combination of thermoregulatory adaptations. Temperature data obtained by multichannel telemetry indicate that it is a regional endotherm. A turtle swimming vigorously had a body temperature (pectoral region) of 37.1.degree. C in water at 29.1.degree. C. Inactive adults are 1.degree..degree. C above water temperatures. Temperatures telemetered from other parts of the body of swimming turtles and temperatures of resting individuals suggest that only the active tissues, and not the entire body, are at an elevated temperature. Heat is retained in the active tissues due to large body size and insulatory properties of the shell. Warm pectoral muscles (7.degree. C above water temperature) probably increase this turtle''s swimming ability and may facilitate its long-distance migrations.
