Turtles are truly remarkable creatures that have existed on Earth for over 200 million years, making them one of the oldest living reptiles. Their slow and steady pace has long been a symbol of patience and resilience in many cultures around the world. Unlike many animals, turtles carry their homes on their backs their hard shells provide protection from predators and harsh environments, acting like a natural fortress wherever they go.

One fascinating fact about turtles is their incredible sense of direction. Sea turtles, for example, travel thousands of miles across oceans and are able to return to the exact beach where they were born to lay their eggs. Scientists believe they use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate, a superpower that still puzzles researchers today.

Turtles also play important roles in their ecosystems. Freshwater turtles help keep water environments healthy by eating plants, insects, and dead animals, while sea turtles help maintain the balance of ocean habitats by grazing on seagrass beds. This makes them vital to the health of both land and sea.
