The sea turtle can actually turn to the side if faced with a predator like a tiger shark, which will try to get the shell or a flipper in its mouth. When the turtle turns its shell facing the shark, the shark can't wrap its mouth around the shell, so it acts like a shield.
It could of but it can't eat the shell though so if you ever find the shell in the yard it ate the turtle most likely or some other predator ate it.
