A sea turtle adapts by eating kelp and fish.

A sea turtle is a truly amazing reptile with many different adaptations. One of its adaptations is its hard shell. The shell protects a sea turtle like a shield from many predators. Another adaptation that a sea turtle has is its flippers. A sea turtle's flippers help it swim smoothly. They are also built for digging in the sand. A sea turtle has a very interesting adaptation near its eyes. There is a gland that helps release salt from the ocean. So, on land, it looks like a sea turtle is crying. Without these adaptations, sea turtles may not survive in the wild.

Depends on the snapping turtle you're talking about. Many of them have rocky carapaces as to better blend in with the bottoms of lakes. The alligator snapping turtle in particular has a thin, worm-like tongue it uses to lure fish.
