A turtle is a big reptile that spends the most of its life in the water and has a thick shell protecting its body. Like a tortoise or terrapin.
Turtles have webbed feet. Some turtles have lengthy feet that resemble flippers, this makes it easier for them to swim.
They commonly reside their whole lives in rather shallow continental shelf waters.
Usually on the same sandy beach where they were hatched, female turtles return to the coast to deposit their eggs. Male turtles never leave the water when they reach adulthood.
