So that for example, when the turtle is swimming, a shark comes close. The shark loves Turtle meat so it tries to grab it.
The turtle terrifies and so, fall back into it's shell.
The shell is hard enough that Shark can't bite through and small enough that Shark can't get in.
After sometimes, the Shark would lose interest and go away.
The turtle comes out and lives his life.
