Turtles and Tortoises

well they use their senses in a swamp by smelling where their food is. they use their mouth when the want to fell a vibration in the water. on land they use their senses in their shell and felling the land.

Green turtles can weigh anywhere from 200 to 700 pounds (90 to 320 kilograms) on average, with some individuals reaching up to 700 pounds (320 kilograms). However, the weight can vary depending on the specific subspecies and age of the turtle.

There are currently around 20,000 Galapagos tortoises left, spread across different islands within the Galapagos archipelago. Conservation efforts have been successful in stabilizing their population, but they remain threatened by habitat loss, introduced species, and climate change.

Longneck turtle poo typically looks dark brown or black and can sometimes have a shiny, wet appearance due to the water content. It is generally cylindrical in shape and can vary in size depending on the size of the turtle.

There is no actual names for a group of baby turtles but I guess you can call it hatchlings

"Cooter" is a common nickname for certain species of freshwater turtles in the United States, particularly the Eastern River Cooter (Pseudemys concinna). These turtles have a distinct yellow or orange marking near the head that gives them their name.

Turtles get their food by foraging in their environment for things like plants, insects, small fish, and algae. They use their strong jaws to chew and swallow their food while underwater. Some turtles are also known to scavenge for food on land.

Sea turtles in the wild can live anywhere from 50 to 80 years, depending on the species. Some species like the loggerhead or green sea turtles have been known to live up to 100 years. Many factors such as predation, habitat degradation, and human activities can affect the lifespan of sea turtles.

Pinta Island tortoises primarily eat vegetation such as grasses, leaves, cactus pads, and fruits. They are herbivores and have a diet that is mainly composed of plant matter found in their natural habitat.

Turtles do not poo wherever they go. They typically have designated areas where they eliminate waste, such as in water or on land. In the wild, this behavior helps to keep their environment clean and free of waste build-up.

Terrapins do sleep, bacause they are tired and need to grow, like we do. You can tell they're asleep if they're eyelids are closed and they're not moving.

To find out a turtle's gender, you can check the length of their claws. If the claws are very long and have a black color it's male. If the claws have a light color and they are short it's female.

Tortoises typically reach sexual maturity between 5 to 7 years of age, depending on the species. Some larger tortoises may take longer to reach sexual maturity compared to smaller species. It's important to provide proper care and ensure a suitable environment to support their growth and development.

Technically no, a turtle is not a fish. It is a reptile.

My orange tabby is 23 years old in cat years and 100sum in human years. The term "tabby" is just a description of a certain coat pattern, not a cat breed. There is no link between coat colour or pattern and a cat's lifespan.

Turtles usually live for several decades, and can potentially outlive human beings. Sea turtles have even longer lifespans: they can live to be a few hundred years old. In fact, sea turtles are the longest-living animals on earth.

In 1991 our family had a tortoise and the family dog bit a hole in it's shell. Actually, two. We took the tortoise to a friend who cleaned the holes and applied plaster-of-paris. For years the tortoise had the plaster cast on it, and as the tortoise grew, pieces of the plaster would come off. All these years later, the plaster is completely gone, and the tortoise has a beautiful shell. You can't even tell that it ever had a problem.

Turtles belong to the reptilia class. Turtles are characterized by a bony shell, formed from their ribs, and acting as a shield. Terrapin is used to describe several species of small, edible, hard-shell turtles, typically those found in brackish waters, and is an Algonquian word for turtle.

A turtles shell is built into bone structure. Parts of the backbone and the ribs, among other bones, make up the inner structure of the shell. This means that it cannot get out of its shell, as the shell is not separate from the body.

All lizards are cold blooded so they don't have techniques to stay cool besides hiding in the shade, under something, or in a hole to hide from direct heat. They need the warmth given by the sun to live. This is why they brumate during the winter. They need heat to digest food and in the winter they eat much less for this purpose. So just avoided the sun to keep cool and basking and laying on warm surfaces to keep warm.

Starfish and turtles are both marine animals, but they are not closely related. They belong to different phylogenetic groups: starfish are echinoderms while turtles are reptiles. Both have adaptations for living in the water, such as their streamlined bodies and specialized respiratory systems.

Snapping turtles have a large head with a sharp, hooked beak, a long tail with jagged ridges, and webbed feet with long claws. They have a dark-colored shell, known as a carapace, which can range from brown to black in color. Adult snapping turtles can grow up to 18 inches in shell length.
