Do turtles live in the arctic ocean?

Answer 1

Turtles don't live in the Arctic Ocean because the water there is only about 33 degrees F (0.5 C). Turtles are cold blooded, and therefor rely on their environment to supply them with heat. A turtle would die from the cold very, very quickly in the Arctic Ocean.

There are some fish, however, that can live in the Arctic, even though all fish are cold blooded. They are able to do this because of special adaptations that they have, which turtles lack.
