Turtle


Turtle (in Hebrew: צב) Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines characterized by a special bony shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield.

Turtles are one of the oldest reptile groups, originating over 220 million years ago.

Sea turtles undertake extensive oceanic migrations, navigating via geomagnetic cues to return to their natal nesting beaches.

Many species of turtles are threatened by marine plastic pollution, coastal habitat development, and illegal wildlife trade.
