Turtle time.

in ntopaz •  6 years ago 

ntopaz-image-0Turtles have a hard shell that protects them like a shield, this upper shell is called a ‘carapace’. Turtles have existed for around 215 million years. The largest turtle is the leatherback sea turtle, it can weigh over 900 kg! (2000 lb)
Turtles lay eggs. Sea turtles have special glands which help remove salt from the water they drink.

Many turtle species are endangered.

We need to take better care of these wonderful creatures, over fishing, plastic, pollution and even torisem is hurting these speicies to almost extinction.

lets think and act on that.

so true, they are so amazing and interesting to me, i find them zenlike and very moving, they cross oceans to lay eggs and really important to the ecosystem. they really should be well taken care of and protected.

I agree to that, they are amazing creatures. Here in Greece we have an endangered species that we are trying to protect, it is a big effort but more and more are coming through the years:)

amen to that, yeah the world is slowly waking up to what was silent for many years, i hope we are not too late
