Sea Turtles

yes they can come out

Only if you do NOT use a flash on your camera. Lights disturb the turtles.

Flexible shell is probally the most interesting

over 6,000 million but they are killed so quickly

a sea turtle has a hard shell to act as a body armor. it fully covers it's abdomen and back. The turtle has no shelter as it is continually migrating (on the move).

The faster that temperature increase the faster the eggs develop and, in general, hatching can be expected anywhere from 45 to 65 days thereafter.

stop trying to! fishing is becoming a dangerous threat to them, as is boat traffic and diseases from gas and oil. If there is a spot of loggerhead turtles, please, help save this endangered species.

The baby green sea turtle is eaten by raccoons, seabirds and crabs. The only animal that can eat an adult green sea turtle is a shark, and tiger sharks have been known to feed regularly on green sea turtles.

yes

No. Turtles don’t live in groups.

They hibernate in the silt at the bottom of the ocean.

The alligator snapping turtle is the biggest freshwater turtle in North America, growing up to about 165 pounds (75kg). It is of the family Chelydridae.

The sea turtle is a saltwater turtle of the family Chelonioidea. The biggest can be up to 1600 lbs (700kg), almost ten times bigger than the other.

yes:

Many freshwater turtles in temperate climates may experience winter periods trapped under ice unable to breathe, in anoxic mud, or in water depleted of O2. To survive, these animals must not only retain function while anoxic, but they must do so for extended periods of time. Two general physiological adaptive responses appear to underlie this capacity for long-term survival. The first is a coordinated depression of metabolic processes within the cells, both the glycolytic pathway that produces ATP and the cellular processes, such as ion pumping, that consume ATP. As a result, both the rate of substrate depletion and the rate of lactic acid production are slowed greatly. The second is an exploitation of the extensive buffering capacity of the turtle's shell and skeleton to neutralize the large amount of lactic acid that eventually accumulates. Two separate shell mechanisms are involved: release of carbonate buffers from the shell and uptake of lactic acid into the shell where it is buffered and sequestered. Together, the metabolic and buffering mechanisms permit animals to survive for 3-4 months at 3 °C with no O2 and with circulating lactate levels of 150 mmol l-1 or more.

A sea turtle is a vertebrate, just like any other turtle. Their spine is connected to the roof of the inside of their shell, which is why they can swap shells or get out of the ones they were born with, or it will kill it.

No. The sea turtle belongs to the reptile group. Reptiles are chordates, also known as vertebrates.

A vertebrate. After all, it has a spine.

Assigning scientific names to living organisms is callled Nomenclature. Carolus Linnaeus (1753) introduced such a system of assigning scientificnames to organisms; this system is called binomial nomenclature.

I believe there are around 25-50 left.... they tend to dwell around Africa, and some near the Congo basin. they have survived the extinction of the dinosaurs, and have been around for approximated 150 million year. they can weigh 500-2,000 pounds, and in length (head to tail)4-9 feet long. they are the largest of all sea turtles. they dive very deep, around 4,000 feet. for more info search wikipedia :D

they don't. The mother lays the eggs in a hole on the beach. And when the turtles hatch they have to make it to shore without being eaten by themselves do they not just lay eggs and go leaving the turtles to get to sea themselves what the heck I just said that

The turtle is a reptile, and all reptiles belong to the taxonomic domain of Eukarya.Eukarya covers all organisms in the Kingdom Animalia, as well as the Kingdoms Plantae, Fungi and Protista.

Most are only 2-4 feet long, but the leatherback sea turtle can be up to seven feet long and five feet wide, up to 1300 pounds!

They are consumers. They eat the producer.

its illegal to sell them if they are under four inches in america. most likely since it takes important care and if you sell them like this, turtle breeders will be noticed for a felony. It is not a crime to buy them though.

edit: that answer is sorta wrong you cant sell a turtle under 4 inches but its not because important care its because smaller turtles can fit in kids mouth and give them salmonellae

turtles are reptiles so they are cold blooded
