    Turtles are a prehistoric group of reptiles that developed when dinosaurs still lived on Earth. They come in many varieties, with some species being slow on land but faster in water, while land turtles are known as tortoises. Turtles can be found around the world except in very cold areas, and live in oceans, lakes, rivers, woodlands and even deserts. They have a hard shell that protects their vital organs, and while most can retract their head and limbs into their shell, some cannot. Turtles are omnivores or herbivores depending on the species, eating plants or smaller animals, and their populations are declining due to habitat loss and overharvesting.

    TURTLE

    Turtles are prehistoric group of reptiles that developed when the dinosaurs were still
    living on earth. They are known as a slow-moving animal and indeed certain land turtles are
    quite slow. However, some species such as sea turtles tend to move faster, even on land. The
    land turtles are also known as tortoises.

    Turtles can be found in most parts of the world, except in the coldest regions. They
    mostly spread over from south-eastern North America to south-eastern Asia. Most turtles live
    in fresh water. Other species live in salt water or on land. Turtles inhabit the oceans, lakes,
    ponds, salt swamps, rivers, woodlands, and even deserts.Turtles’ sizes and appearances vary
    significantly among different species. The smallest one, for examples mud turtles, may be
    less than 10 cm in length and less than 0,5 kg in weight. In contrast, the Atlantic leatherback
    turtle grows to a length of more than 2 m and may weigh more than 680 kg.Most turtles have
    a hard shell surrounds their body, protecting their vital organs like a suit of armor. The shell is
    separated into two parts, an arched upper section, called carapace, and a flat lower section,
    called plastron. Most of turtle species can tuck their head, legs and tail into it for protection
    from predator. However, other species don’t have such feature.

    Turtles are omnivores. They eat living or dead plant and animal. They eat smaller
    creatures, involving snails, insects, worms, jellyfish, clams, crayfishes, and other crustaceans.
    However, many tortoises are herbivores, eat only plants.Some turtles are kept as pets by
    animal lover, but people in several regions of the world also eat their meat and eggs. In
    United States, for instance, certain species of turtles are harvested for sale to restaurants. This
    practice makes many native species, the snapping turtles, for instance, have been drastically
    reduced in numbers. Furthermore, turtle populations have decreased worldwide since their
    environments have completely changed or been damaged. A few of turtle species, including
    most tortoises and sea turtles, are in danger of completely in danger of extinction nowadays.
