Tur tles are green and yellow, and sometimes, red or brown. They travel 20 miles per hour. They grow from 4 to 8 feet long, but the common bog turtle measures only 4 inches in length.
Turtles eat both plants and animals.
Turtles have to watch out for birds or any other type of animal that is bigger than it. They also have to watch out for people because people eat turtles too. Their adaptations are, they have a hard shell that protects their soft shell. They also have a hard beak to eat with. Some of the interesting facts are that they are a reptile of the order Chelonia, with strong, beaked, toothless jaws and, usually, an armor like shell.
