The turtleâ??s spine that runs through the entire body is attached to the shell. That would mean for the turtle to leave the shell, the spine would have to be torn out because itâ??s attached to the shell. Underneath the shell lays solid body of bones where the turtle body has very little movement.
Turtles shed their shells when they are growing. A scute is what makes a turtle's shell look quilted. Each individual scute sheds or peels off, including the ones on the plastron. So don't worry about your turtle, he is perfectly fine and healthy.
Some turtles swim because of the way they anatomy is set up. Tortises can't swim because they have non-webbed feet and their shell is too heavy for them to swim safely. Turtles swim because they have a lighter shell which is easier to swim with the help of their webbed feet
The poop looks like human poo
Males often have fatter, bigger tails than females. Males have the vent [ cloaca] toward the tip of the tail. The female cloaca is closer to the shell. Males have a concave bottom shell to fit better on top of the female during mating. Females have a convex bottom shell to provide more space for eggs.
It probably just means a big or thick penis

A turtle is typically a reptile like creature with four legs and a shell. Picture:
It means that the scutes are raised and look like pyramids, and the shell is bumpy and not smooth. For more information on how to take care of pyramiding on a pet turtle visit the link in 'related links'.
A land turtle is a tortoise. A turtle is a sea turtle. A fresh water turtle is a terrapin. Tortoises, unlike turtles and terrapins, have flat feet that barely look like individual feet, but instead look more like they are fully part of the leg, much like an elephant's. Tortoises have a very sloped shell, where as the other turtles have much more flattened shells.
The first one to answer IS DUMB because obviously they didnt comprehend why she is nicknamed Turtle. She is nicknamed Turtle not because she looks like one, but because in the book it's stated that when she was a baby she would poke her head in and out of her blanket like a turtle would.

Yoshi is a turtle. If you look closly, you can see his/her shell.
The sex of a turtle is not determined by its pattern. It is usually determined by the shape of the underside of the shell. A male turtle usually has a somewhat concave bottom shell, while a female turtle's bottom shell is more flat. Another method to determine the sex of a turtle is by the shape of the tail. The tail of a male is usually wider and "stubbier" than that of a female turtle. See link below for further information. It includes pictures demonstrating the differences between male and female turtles/tortoises.
