turtles


Turtles are odd looking reptiles. They have a shell that protects them from any thing that tries to attack them. They go in side it to hide from them. It’s with them where every where they go. There is no other animal with a shell like them. A turtle’s neck can move really fast but its legs move really slowly. There skin is very loose, and there neck muscles are very flexible. This is what allows the turtle to go inside its shell in case of danger. But not every turtle can put there heads in there shell. A sea turtles shell only covers part of there back and there is no protection to the head and legs. Tortoises protect their faces by hiding behind there scales on their front legs.
