Discover the Ocean's Secrets: Top 6 Fun Facts about Finding Nemo You Never Knew!

1. Sea Turtles: Slow, Steady, and Long-Living

Slow and steady wins the race, or at least lives a really long time: sea turtles can live up to 80 years, with larger species like loggerhead and green turtles maturing at 25-35 years old, while smaller species such as Kemp's ridley and olive ridley typically mature at 10-15 years old and live another couple of decades beyond that – although environmental stressors and human activities can shorten their lifespans.

5. Willem Dafoe's Nemo Connection

From fish-out-of-water to trapped inside a smart shell: Willem Dafoe, who lent his voice to Gill in "Finding Nemo," stars in the upcoming film "Inside," portraying a character coincidentally named Nemo who finds himself stuck in a high-tech house during an art heist. While fans are speculating Easter eggs in the movie that tie back to our favorite fish flick, it remains a mystery if Dafoe ad-libbed the now-iconic line, "Shark Bait, Ooh Ha Ha!" in "Finding Nemo."
