Are turtles amphibians or reptiles?


assistant
Turtles are reptiles. Some may assume Turtles are amphibian because they live in water. But that is not the critical factor. Many other animals live in waters, such as whales or crocodiles. To be an amphibian the animal has to have life stage in which it exclusively lives and breathes in water such as frogs.
