Turtle

A turtle is a reptile of the order Testudines characterized by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. "Turtle" may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English). The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species.

Turtles are usually amphibious, known as turtles if they live in the sea, terrapins if they live in freshwater and tortoises if they live on land.
