What is a Turtle?

A turtle is a slow-moving reptile known for its protective shell and calm nature. Unlike sea turtles that live in the ocean, land turtles spend most of their lives walking across grassy or sandy places. Turtles can live for many decades, with some reaching over 50 years. They usually weigh between 1 and 100 kilograms depending on the species. Their bodies are covered with dry, scaly skin, and they have short legs with claws that help them dig and walk. Turtles are very quiet, but some can make soft grunts or hisses. They love to eat leafy plants, fruits, and even small insects. Most turtles enjoy basking in the sun and hiding under logs or bushes to stay safe.
