What are turtles?
Everybody knows what turtles are. They're those reptiles that have enormous shells. Most turtles live in freshwater lakes and streams, but others are entirely terrestrial (tortoises) and a few are specialized for a marine life. The upper half of the shell is called the carapace and the "belly" shell is called the plastron. They lay a ton of eggs so that a few of the babies will survive to adulthood. Snapping turtles are really bad-ass and can bite your finger off.
