Hello and Thank You.

The section I removed is not accurate, and does not have reliable references to back it up.
 * Hawksbills evidently reach maturity after thirty years.[11] They are believed to live from thirty to fifty years in the wild.[33] Like other sea turtles, hawksbills are solitary for most of their lives; they meet only to mate. They are highly migratory.[26] Because of their tough carapaces, adults' only predators are sharks, estuarine crocodiles, octopuses, and some species of pelagic fish.[26]

For instance, Hawksbills evidently reach maturity after thirty years.[11] is not supported by the reference which reads As a result, actual age at sexual maturity is not known. Moreover there is evidence, supported by peer reviewed documents, supporting that maturity is reached as early as 10 years old and more commonly between 15 and 25 years old. Moreover the reference used to support 'They are believed to live from thirty to fifty years in the wild' does not mention anything about age.

Finally, the last sentence Because of their tough carapaces, adults' only predators are sharks, estuarine crocodiles, octopuses, and some species of pelagic fish.[26] has got nothing to do with maturity.
