Various Virginia Turtles |
|
|
|
Turtles are the oldest members of the class Reptilia, and fall under the order Tesudines. They are characterized by specialized vertebrae and ribs, both of which form a shell surrounding the animal. They are also have a karotinized beak and lack real teeth. A turtle's shell may have a hinge which allows it to extend or retract their head. |

Guy Frost Quote: The mud turtle has a carpace that will occasionally have living plants growing on it. The mud turtles generally spends their days drifting about a pond, but then again they don't have much choice do they? |
