Turtle Facts
Author: Frank G

Turtles make a very interesting pet. And the knowledge about their history and facts about their species make it more interesting for the turtle-keepers.

Following are some of the well-known facts about the turtles:

· If you own a group of turtles as pet, then you may also call them ‘a bale of turtles’!

· Turtles have a habit of shedding their shell, just as snakes do; this skin resembles a burnt leaf. Turtles shed their skins, as they grow bigger.

· The largest recorded turtle in the world is the Leathery Turtle whose shell is up to 2.4 meters long and can weigh up to 860kg.

· It is believed that turtles and tortoises are the oldest forms of reptiles alive today and have changed very little in their 200 million-year history.

· According to natural science and history, turtles and tortoises are the only known reptiles that have a shell built into their skeleton.

· It is a very interesting fact that turtles don’t have teeth, but instead have horny ridges that are serrated and sharp on their upper and lower jaws.

· The Snake-Necked Turtle’s long neck enables them to draw breath at the surface without exposing the rest of the body to predators.

· Some turtles are known to breathe underwater through their bottoms, especially during hibernation.

· One of the most unusual turtles is found in North and Central America and called the Alligator Turtle. It has shield-like scales, similar to an alligator and a special tongue that moves like a worm underwater.

Turtles have a very old history but are known to very much same as they were then. There are many species of turtles based upon their size, color, habitat and living conditions. Some of them are water turtles, mud turtles, Juvenile snappers, soft-shell turtles, etc.
