Aquatic Turtles
Aquatic turtles are reptiles that are adapted to living in water for the majority of their lives. They have webbed feet or flippers for swimming, and their shells are typically more streamlined than those of their terrestrial counterparts. Aquatic turtles can be found in various bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, rivers, and oceans, and they primarily feed on aquatic plants, insects, and small fish. These turtles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature.
