Turtles and tortoises have developed several adaptations for feeding that vary based on their diets. Aquatic turtles often possess sharp, hooked beaks to grasp slippery prey like fish, while herbivorous tortoises have flat, broad beaks suited for chewing tough plant material. Some species also have specialized jaws and strong necks to help them reach and consume various types of food. Additionally, their digestive systems are adapted to process their specific diets efficiently, allowing them to extract necessary nutrients.
