Rare leatherback turtle spotted in Lyme Regis

A fisherman in Dorset has managed to capture a picture of a rare leatherback sea turtle, eating a jellyfish in the waters of Lyme Regis.

The endangered species is from the Caribbean and have been spotted before in the area but it's rare to see them so near the shore.

The Leatherback is the largest of all living turtles and they are able to raise their own body temperatures, which allows them to swim in cooler waters.
