Turtle Anatomy
Turtle anatomy refers to the physical structure and components of a turtle's body, including the shell, limbs, head, and internal organs. The shell is made up of bony plates called scutes, which are covered in keratinous material. Turtles have four limbs, each with claws for digging and swimming. Their heads are typically covered by a bony plate and have beak-like mouths for feeding. Internal organs include the heart, lungs, digestive system, and reproductive organs.
