Najcesca i najbrojnija vrsta Jadrana zasigurno je glavata
zelva. Rasprostranjena je i u Atlantskom, Pacifickom i Indijskom
oceanu, Crnom moru, te u Sredozemlju, gdje gnijezdi na obalama
Grcke, Turske i Cipra. Cesto se moze naci u blizini kopna, i
najcesca je zelva Mediterana. Karapaks je ovalan, dug i do 110 cm,
no obicno je manji. Karnivorna je, a hrani se uglavnom mekuscima,
rakovima i ribama. S obzirom na relativno cesta opazanja ove vrste
u Jadranu (poznato je da je jedina vrsta koja gnijezdi i u
umjerenim vodama), postoji sumnja o mogucem odlaganju jaja i na
nekim nasim pogodnim otocima.
Zanimljivi su njeni nalazi u bocatim vodama delte Neretve i u
Skadarskom jezeru (BOLKAY, 1924), kao i u Prokljanskom jezeru kod
Sibenika (DE LUCA et al., 1990). Na obalama Kozarice (Mljet)
pronaden je mrtav juvenilni primjerak ove vrste (LIPEJ et al.,
1987).
