From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (the crown group of the superorder Chelonia), characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield. "Turtle" may either refer to the Testudines as a whole, or to particular Testudines which make up a form taxon that is not monophyletic—see also sea turtle, terrapin, tortoise, and the discussion below. The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards and snakes. About 300 species are alive today, and some are highly endangered. Like other reptiles, turtles are ectotherms—varying their internal temperature according to the ambient environment, commonly called cold-blooded. However, leatherback sea turtle have noticeably higher body temperature than surrounding water because of their high metabolic rate. Like other amniotes (reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals), they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. The largest turtles are aquatic.

Q. I'm afraid that the little musk turtle might eat the fish since they are related to the snapping turtle. I would also like to know if turtles the size of sliders might attempt to eat fish. would they do so if the fish were big? Asked by Derek A - Fri May 9 18:10:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have a multitude of turtles and the only thing I can say is if you decide to put fish with any species of aquatic turtle don't get too attached to the fish because they will always be a potential snack. I have had turtles rip apart a 16" common pleco within seconds. It all depends on the individual turtle. I have one little musk that gets along great with fish. But then I have another that will eat anything it can catch. Answered by Hi my name is: ANIMAL - Fri May 9 22:44:10 2008 Can a heat lamp for turtles be too close to the turtle? Q.
