No, turtles are not mammals. They are reptiles.
Nope... turtles are reptiles - not mammals.

No. Turtles are reptiles (not amphibians, as some believe). Reptiles are characterised by:

  • being vertebrates
  • having scaly skin (not scales)
  • being cold-blooded (mammals are warm-blooded)
  • breathing air through lungs, not gills
  • usually lay eggs, though some reptiles have live young

A turtle is not a mammal, but it is a reptile. A turtle is a cold-blooded animal that lays eggs. Mammals are warm-blooded animals, and females produce milk to feed their young.
