Characteristics of Turtles
The bodies of turtles are covered with a thick shell. The head, tail and legs
can extend out of this hard shell and thus they can feed and move. With their
aquatic and terrestrial species, turtles are slow creatures that have won the
sympathy of almost everyone. They reproduce by spawning and hatch their eggs
from the fertilized eggs by hiding them in suitable soils. Let's sum up the
general characteristics of these creatures, which can see almost a few
generations of people with their long lives. -

hard shell.

Do Turtles Hibernate?
- Some tortoises hibernate like bears and snakes. They spend
the winter by burying themselves underground all year. Sea turtles, on the
other hand, dive into the depths of the sea and wait there for the summer to
come.
- Even though turtles tear hard objects, contrary to popular
belief, they do not have teeth. The tooth has been replaced by the jaw, which
consists of a hard cartilage structure. With this hard jaw, they shred their
food. Considering that they feed on hard shellfish in the sea, they have a very
strong mouth structure.
- Although their senses of sight and smell are highly
developed, they cannot hear sounds very well.
- Turtles have 5 fingers on their feet and these fingers are
mobile. Sea turtles have webbed toes that facilitate swimming, and in some
turtles they are adjacent to each other.
