What is a "turtle"?

A turtle is a reptile with a protective shell that serves as its home and defense mechanism. It has a sturdy body, short legs, and a distinct beak-like mouth. Turtles are well-adapted to aquatic life and can be found in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They move slowly on land but are excellent swimmers. Turtles are known for their longevity, with some species living for several decades or even over a hundred years. They are herbivores or omnivores, feeding on plants, insects, and small animals. Turtles are fascinating creatures that have captivated humans for centuries, representing resilience and wisdom in many cultures.
