I eat mainly plants, but sometimes crabs and crayfish. I pick up vibrations in the water through my shell. I'm male, so I live in the water all the time. My legs are like flippers and they help me swim fast. The only time I've been out of water was when I was born.
Female turtles go ashore to lay eggs.
Up to one hundred at a time. So if you see a turtle on the beach, it's not me. I'm the one in the water with the larger tail. I may live to be 150 years old.
