    Turtles

                                   

Turtles are reptiles.Reptiles share their name with 6 different animals frogs,tortoises,turtles,snakes,crocodiles and lizards.

Reptiles lay soft leathery eggs,hard scaly skin,cold-blooded and can spend time in water and land.

Appearance

Turtles have a protective shell. They have a lower shell and an upper shell and then their arms, legs and body. When turtles first hatch out of their egg they are about 3cm long and 2cm tall. Turtle's shell have a pacific pattern on it so it is very rare.

Diet

Turtles are first herbivores (plant eaters) when they are first born. When they get to about 30 years old they start to became carnivorous  also know as meat eaters. After about 70 years of age they became Omnivorous (eat both kinds meat and plants).

Reproduction

Turtles are reptiles, so they lay soft leathery eggs.Turtles lay their eggs on land and leave them to hatch after 9 weeks. First the mum turtle gets pregnant and waits 4 weeks. Once she can lay her eggs she goes to land and digs a hole and lays her eggs in there. Once she is finished laying her eggs she digs the hole back up and goes back to the sea. After 9 weeks her eggs start to hatch. The babies start to dig up to the land and go to sea.

Habitat

Turtles are found in small swamps in rain forests, in the sea and in creeks. Turtles don’t always stay in water, some turtles stay in the water and then leave to go somewhere for food and go back to the sea.

Closing statement.

Turtles are being killed for their shells to be used for decorations. Some turtles skins are used for hand bags.And some types are very rare.
