Best Answer

Kingdom: Anamalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Testudines (test-uh-deen'-eez)

Other turtles that are in Order Testudines would be the Hawksbill Turtle and the Giant Tortoise.

A few characteristics that place the turtle in Class Reptilia: 1) they breath w/ lungs for throughout their lives, 2) they produce amniotic (am-nee-ah'-til) eggs covered w/ a leathery shell 3) most are oviparous (development that occurs in an egg outside the femal's body) but some are ovoviviparous (development that occurs in an egg that is hatched inside that femal's body).

btw, dont answer something if u dont know how to answer it. A turtle's taxonomy is how it is classed. It is in the kingdom of amphibians. The phylum of chordata. The class of reptilia. The order of tustudines. The family of Cheloniidae, which are sea turtles with shells covered with scutes (horny plates). They also could be in the family Dermochelyidae, in which they are covered with leathery skin. The only turtle in this category, though, is a leatherback turtle.

What species is a turtle?

In scientific classification, "turtle" is an order, not a species (it's called "Testudines"). There are hundreds of species of turtles. The class of a turtle is Reptilia, meaning turtles are air-breathing reptiles. Common misconceptions are that turtles are amphibians, which they are not because they are reptiles, and that they have gills, which they don't because they breathe air.
