Turtles and Tortoises

Some species of turtles are known to exhibit monogamous relationships, while others are not. For example, the red-eared slider turtle is not monogamous and may mate with multiple partners. However, certain species like the painted turtle may form long-term pair bonds and exhibit monogamous behavior.

Turtles have beaks instead of teeth. If they are carnivorous they have a sharper beak. if they are herbivores they have blunt beaks.

The main purpose of a turtarrier is to keep cars from moving too far forward in a parking space. They're mostly unnecessary if all spaces are facing a sidewalk with a curb, but when two parking spaces are facing towards one another their purpose is made more clear. By clearly defining the depth of a parking space they prevent anyone from taking up two at once if they pull too far forward in the space.

They also allow some control over movement throughout a parking lot. Without turtarriers, people who are in a hurry are sometimes inclined to cut across the lot, instead of following the intended paths. By including turtarriers and preventing this sort of behavior, traffic in a lot becomes more predictable, and thus is safer to navigate.

The tortoise in The Flowerpot Men is named Bill.

Because they can be eaten as food, and perhaps they "taste like chicken"

Turtles have a relatively longer attention span compared to many other animals, as they can focus on tasks and stimuli for extended periods of time. However, their attention span can vary depending on the situation and their level of interest or engagement. Overall, turtles are known to be attentive and observant creatures.

Yes there is such thing as a two headed person, like disabled people and unfortunate twins..... You can watch programs on ' living ' and its all about peoples lives and mainly you get obiece people and two headed people.... Once I even watched one where a man was half tree ( freaky ) please get back to me from Receey

The turtle is a reptile. It's unique feature is it's shell. The turtle is attached to it's shell by muscles in it's back. The turtle can "retreat" into its shell when it feels threatened or when danger comes. The shell is built so that, if the attacker turns the turtle upside down, the turtle can turn itself right side up. Turtles are cool that way.

No, box turtles cannot breathe underwater. They are terrestrial animals and must come to the surface to breathe air. They do not have the adaptations to extract oxygen from water like aquatic turtles do.

Red-eared sliders are often considered one of the easiest turtles to care for. They are hardy, relatively low maintenance, and readily available in the pet trade. It is important to provide them with a proper diet, spacious tank, and UVB lighting to ensure their health and well-being.

No, an African Lion has a much stronger bite force than a snapping turtle. Lions have one of the strongest bite forces among land animals, while snapping turtles have a strong bite force for their size but it is not as powerful as a lion's.

Antarctica is the only continent where turtles are not found in the wild.

No, tortoises and turtles are ectothermic, which means they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. They are unable to produce their own body heat like endothermic animals such as mammals.

Turtles can vary greatly in size depending on the species. Some turtles, like the tiny Speckled Padloper tortoise, can reach just a few inches in length, while others, like the Leatherback sea turtle, can grow up to 7 feet long and weigh over 2,000 pounds.

Turtles are reptiles, not mammals. They belong to the order Testudines and are known for their protective shell and slow movements on land.

Green sea turtles have flippers to help them swim swiftly in the ocean, a streamlined body for efficient swimming, and the ability to hold their breath for long periods of time while underwater. They also have a specialized digestive system that allows them to eat and digest a herbivorous diet of sea grass and algae.

Tortoises are slow, but turtles (which swim in fresh water or salt water) are actually quite fast.

Tortoises are so slow because mainly of the heavy shell they carry on their back. In addition, not known to many people, their legs are naturally spread apart, so that also provides difficulty to walking, and slows it down considerably.

Turtles are fast because their shell is flat (unlike the dome shell of a tortoise), and they have webbed feet with powerful muscles to help them swim. They are usually slow when on land, but fast when in water.

because it i think it used to be full of sea turtles

Some are. But most aren't. I have a bog turtle as a pet and it's completely harmless. The only thing I've seen it bite is it's food!

this is to the owner of the bog turtle "just because yours doesn't bite doesn't mean that it is not poisonous!"

(P.S.I go looking for stuff like this.)

Archelon was one of the largest turtles to have ever lived, with a shell length of up to 13 feet (4 meters) and could weigh as much as 4,500 pounds (2,000 kilograms). It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70-65 million years ago.

The best match for this description is the seahorse (Hippocampus spp.). Seahorses are commonly found in shallow coastal waters of warm and temperate seas around the world. They are unique in appearance and are known for their distinctive vertical posture and prehensile tails.

the average turtle moves between .3-1.4 mph

In the book "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" by Judy Blume, Peter's little brother Fudge ate his pet turtle, Dribble. This incident causes a lot of trouble and conflict in the story between Peter and his family.

Turtles probably don't know you by voice or anything like that. They are however, able to reconize by what you look like, and what you do. Source: Me! I own two turtles and have observed that they aren't frightened of me anymore, unlike the other members of my family.

While some cultures may eat turtle meat, it is not recommended due to the risk of exposure to harmful bacteria and diseases that turtles may carry. Additionally, many species of turtles are at risk or endangered, so consuming them can also have a negative impact on their populations.
