Turtles, like many other animals, lay so many eggs at one time for many reasons. For example, not all turtles make it out of the egg; some never hatch. The biggest reason, however, is because baby turtles are slow and small, and are often eaten by birds and large carnivorous fish. Unfortunately for the cute baby turtles, most of them get eaten up!

Tortoises are slow, but turtles (which swim in fresh water or salt water) are actually quite fast. Tortoises are so slow because mainly of the heavy shell they carry on their back. In addition, not known to many people, their legs are naturally spread apart, so that also provides difficulty to walking, and slows it down considerably. Turtles are fast because their shell is flat (unlike the dome shell of a tortoise), and they have… Read More
