Discover the Amazing Life of Turtles
Turtles are fascinating creatures that have roamed the earth for over 200 million years! They are known for their distinctive shells, which act as a protective shield from predators. These remarkable reptiles are found in various environments, from ocean waters to freshwater rivers and on land.
Turtles come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from the tiny bog turtle to the massive leatherback sea turtle. Besides their hard shells, turtles are also known for their impressive longevity, with some species living over a hundred years.
In addition to being admirable survivors, turtles play crucial roles in their ecosystems. They help maintain healthy seagrass beds and coral reefs, and some even act as pollinators for various plants.
