They have hard shells called carapaces. The underpart of their shells are called plastrons. Also they cannot retract their legs and such into their shell. They also have flippers at the back of their body which helps them steer when swimming.

the ribs of a sea turtle are attached to the shell and so they sea turtle breathes by opening and closing his/hers legs.
