Answer:Technically, yes; because lava is molten rock, which weighs more than the turtle; so by Newton's third law of motion, the turtle will remain buoyant. However, magma is at a temperature at which the organic compounds that make up the turtle will ignite; so, the turtle would die, and quickly be consumed in flame. Thus, it would float; but not for long. Answer:Not while they are alive.

Do tortoises float when dead?

The only types of turtles that float are piped calling reiad dead turtle only found in Suberb near Merrylands. I don't think tortoises can float though. Unless they have enough air in their lungs or if they're less dense than water, then I don't think they can float. They are land animals and do not belong in the water.

Is there such a thing as lava germs?

Yes, lava germs are a very large part of the volcanic ecosystem. They float around in the lava, slowly eaten by larger lava worms. Lava worms get caught in the lava when it cools, and they become veins of minerals. Mostly semi precious gems like quarts or topaz. Be wary of lava birds however, they like to eat these lava worms and can then actually begin to fly and drip lava over you if you get to close..
