When in captivity, sea turtles should be maintained in water with a salinity level falling within a range of that of normal, natural, incoming seawater. Short periods of holding sea turtles in fresh water can be tolerated and are useful when prescribed by a veterinarian, e.g., to remove parasites and fouling epibiota such as barnacles. However, prolonged periods in fresh water should not be encouraged. Sea turtles are meant for life in the sea, so they do best in an environment with a similar salinity.
Freshwater turtles cannot survive in the sea, no.
There are two types of turtles: Freshwater turtles and sea turtles. All freshwater turtles live mostly in water but often climb onto rocks and land to bask in the sun, mate, and lay eggs. Sea turtles don't bask in the sun, but they mate and lay eggs on land. Freshwater turtles live in rivers and lakes, and sea turtles live in the ocean.
I wouldn't think that there would be any sea turtles in a zoo because sea turtles live in the sea not in a freshwater habitat. But you never know there might be. They would just have to live in salt water.
well, almost all turtles are freshwater except a sea turtle.

No, sea snails cannot live in freshwater environments as they require a salty marine environment to survive.
There are several types of baby turtles, including sea turtles, freshwater turtles, and land turtles. They can be distinguished from each other based on their physical characteristics, such as the shape of their shells, the size of their flippers, and the habitat they live in. Sea turtles have flippers for swimming in the ocean, while freshwater turtles have webbed feet for swimming in lakes and rivers, and land turtles have sturdy legs for walking on land.
For Loggerhead Sea Turtles about 1 out of 1,000 hatchlings survive to adulthood and only 1 in 10,000 eggs survive to adulthood.
There are at least 270 different species of turtle known to man. This includes freshwater turtles, tortoises, and sea turtles.
green turtles are turtles that are green and swim in the ocean and lay eggs and leave them to survive by themselves
They have to live in water to breath in.
