A turtle shell is a unique structure composed of two main parts: the carapace (the upper shell) and the plastron (the lower shell). These parts are made of bony plates covered by a layer of keratin, giving the shell both strength and flexibility. The shell serves as a protective armor, safeguarding the turtle from predators and environmental hazards. Additionally, it plays a role in buoyancy and thermoregulation.
