 | | Turtles have a gelatinous substance in their upper and lower shell, called calipash and calipee respectively, the calipash being of a dull greenish and the calipee of a light yellow color. | | | Sea turtles grow to large sizes and live in the oceans in the temperate and tropical regions of Earth. | | | The eggs of the largest species are spherical, while the eggs of the rest are elongated. |

| | The earliest turtles had teeth, unlike today’s turtles, which are toothless and use their sharp jaws to bite and handle food. | | | Turtles use their tongues in swallowing food, but unlike many other reptiles, such as chameleons, they cannot stick out their tongues to capture food. | | | Turtles use their jaws to cut and handle food. |

| | World Almanac for Kids |
| | Turtles show a wide variation in size, from the 15-cm (6-in) box turtle of North America to the giant sea-dwelling leatherback, which may attain a length of about 2.4 m (about 8 ft). | | | Sea turtles live mostly in warm waters around the world and are graceful swimmers, with limbs modified into long flippers that enable them to migrate long distances. | | | The upper shell of the turtle, under which the head, limbs, and tail can be more or less completely withdrawn, is called the carapace. |

| | Matamata Turtles |
| | The feeding of a captive Matamata is relatively straightforward. | | | The prey has to be appropriately sized for the turtle; Matamatas cannot chew very well due to the way their mouths are constructed. | | | Therefore, the water should be shallow enough that the turtle can stretch its neck up and breathe without moving off of the bottom of the tank, yet deep enough that the animal is fully submersed at all times. |

| | Turtles and Tortoises |
| | Most turtles are omnivores, that is they eat both plants and animals but the exact foods consumed vary between the species. | | | People further harm turtles by eliminating their natural living areas as forests, swamps, and other areas are transformed for farms and urban growth. | | | Today over 40 species of turtles including most sea turtles and many types of tortoises are endangered, and if turtle conservation and protection does not improve, certain species will become extinct. |

| | Long ago turtles were used as food by Native Americans, although they are not used for food as widespread today. | | | The painted turtle, also known as the Chrysemys' picta, is one of the wetland's most common reptiles. | | | This trade of baby turtles has declined because of salmonella being transmitted by turtles and increased awareness of wetlands protection by the EPA. |

| | Sea Turtle Information from World Turtle Trust |
| | Like all sea turtles, they crush their food with strong jaws as they don�t have teeth for chewing. | | | Green turtles mate in the water, close to shore and generally near their nesting beach. | | | Like many other sea turtles, they migrate hundreds of miles from their coastal feeding grounds to their nesting beaches. |

| | Turtle (submarine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Named for its shape, the Turtle resembled a large clam as much as a turtle; it was 7.5 feet (2.3 m) long, 6 feet (1.8 m) tall, and about 3 feet (0.9 m) wide, consisting of two wooden shells covered with tar. | | | It submerged by allowing water into the hull and ascended by pushing water out through a hand pump, similarly to the use of ballast tanks in modern submarines, and was propelled vertically and horizontally by hand-cranked propellors, the first recorded use of the screw propeller for ships. | | | Though while the light given by the material was said to be sufficient, it was likely dimmer than expected, because the ship was effectively cooled by the surrounding sea water and the metabolic rate of poikilothermic, heterotrophic organisms is highly dependant on temperature. |
