No, they can't. Unlike their land-dwelling relatives, they can not pull their heads or flippers into their shells. Sorry all who thought they could, but you're wrong. Unfortunately.
When they feel threatened, they hide in their shell, that's how they protect themselves
just stick a knife in its head lol D: if its head sticks in its shell, stick the knife in its shell
they use their sharp beaks and hard shell
Unlike other reptiles, turtles have a bony shell that protects their bodies. Additionally, turtles are distinctive in that their ribs are fused to their shell, a feature not seen in other reptiles. Turtles are also unique in their ability to retract their head and limbs into their shell for protection.
No. Snakes do not have shells. Some turtles and tortoises can retreat into their shells.
as far as i know they can just like tortoises.
Box turtles, land tortoises, and any aquatic turtles have the ability to put their legs, arms, and head in side of their shell. The shell is the turtles protector/house if someone threw a turtle it would go into its shell and the shell would hopefully protect it from the hard ground. Most turtles the shell is Greenish, Grayish, or maybe other different colorful colors and those colors are usually the almost exact thing that is probably under water. Like seaweed, Rocks, other fish, and ect. so they stay by the objct so it is almost nearly impossible to see.

No
No, sea turtles have lost the ability to pull their heads back into their shells, and the Pleurodires or "Side-Necks" instead have a spine that bends sideways, allowing them to turn their head until it's halfway hidden by the shell.
Freshwater turtles typically have a streamlined shell, webbed feet for swimming, and a long neck for reaching food underwater. They come in various colors and patterns depending on the species, but commonly have a brown or green shell with lighter markings. Their eyes are typically positioned on the sides of their head.
