Turtles
Turtles are reptiles. There are seven species of sea turtles. Turtles are like tortoise expect that tortoise lives on land.
Appearances:
Turtles have hard shells that protects them like shields. These upper shells are called carapaces. Turtles also have lower shells called plastrons. They have four flippers and they don’t have ears.
Habitat:
Most of the turtles live in the sea water but some live in freshwater.
Diet:
Sea turtles are omnivorous. Sea turtles eat seagrass, algae, sponges, sea squirts, squid, shrimp, crabs, jellyfish, cuttlefish and sea cucumbers.
Turtles have existed for around 215 million years. Some sea turtles are in danger of dying out because people collect their eggs. People use too much plastic and they go down the drain then into the sea. The turtles think it’s a jellyfish and eat it but then they get sick and die!

Great job, Carolyn! Your turtle report is turtle-tastic! You taught me so much about turtles! For instance, I didn't know that some turtles lived in fresh water. The different names for their shells are quite difficult and confusing, but they are also pretty cool names!
