You must have heard of one of the slowest creatures on The Earth turtle,🐢 but as you probably know, slow and steady wins the race! So, let’s learn🤓 something about this creature.
Turtles are reptiles, and you can find them living almost anywhere.😮 Turtles are cold-blooded, like all reptiles. This means their body temperature changes based on how warm or cold🥶 it is outside.
Many turtle species are able to hide their heads inside their bodies if they feel under threat.😨 Combined with their hard outer shell, this helps keep them safe from predators.
There is no average size of the turtle, as there are so many💁♀ different species. However, the largest turtle out there is the leatherback sea turtle, which can weigh over 900kg!😳
On an average, turtles live up to 80 years but some species have been known to live for more than 150 years.😱 The oldest turtle has been 185 years old.
