Dermochelys coriacea est maximus omnium testudinum exstantium et quartus a gravissimis reptilibus hodiernis, post tria crocodilia.[3][4] Hoc animal est sola species sui generis[5] et sola exstans familiae Dermochelyidarum species. Facile ab aliis chelonioideis hodiernis distinguitur quia exosceleto osseo caret; potius, eius carapax a cuti crassa et carne oleosa tegitur.
