Turtles
are one of the oldest animals on our planet, with traces
going back to the time of the dinosaurs. Turtles
belong to the Order Testudines. Most turtles have hard
shells, created from their ribs, that acts as a sort
of body armour. There are salt-water turtles, and fresh-water
turtles |
|
| |
| There are also both purely aquatic turtles and
land dwelling turtles. Many of these magnificent reptiles are
endangered. Our Turtles Gallery
provides pictures of many different types of turtles. Terrapins
are also covered throughout the turtles section. |

|
| If you want general care information for turtles,
the turtles library is where you will find it. The articles
in here can apply to most, if not every, turtle out there. |

| If you are thinking about buying a turtle,
there is no better place to find a Care Sheet for your turtles
than in our Turtle Care Sheets
section. This is the best way to answer your questions about
specific turtle species. They feature information about proper
feeding, housing for turtles. |

|
| Our Turtle picture gallery contains a large number
of pages with pictures of individual turtle species. Many of
these pictures come from our visitors who have pet turtles themselves
or have captured pictures of turtles in the wild. |
