Turtles

I read “TURTLES”

Turtles have many interesting characteristics.
I’ll show you them.
First, turtles are among the oldest animal species still alive. They are definitely the oldest reptile. There are about 300 species of turtles, including tortoises. Turtles and tortoises looks similar, but there are big differences.               

For example, turtles have flippers to swim and to cover the eggs. On the other hand, tortoises have heavy shells and thick legs.
Second, turtles are appear in a lot of historical tales such as Aesop or Terry Pratchett’s work because turtles have had an influence in many countries. In one Chinese myth says that the turtle’s rounded carapace or top part of the shell is a symbol of the heavens. But on the other hand, in Ancient Greece, turtles were considered to come from hell. Whether they are loved or hasted, feared or admired, one thing is sure; turtles have earned the respect of humans around the world and throughout time.
Third, turtles having been in trouble by man-made threats such as hunting, pollution and light pollution. Because of these threats, the turtles and tortoises are also suffering from falling numbers.

We should protect them and their nests so that they can live in peace.
