Turtles
 

Turtles are one of the oldest creatures on the earth, appearing as many as 200 million years ago. Turtles exist both in the water and on land, although the water-dwelling turtles tend to be the largest. Turtles Archive provides a variety of information that you will need to properly care for turtles in captivity.

 Turtles Picture
 
It is believed that turtles have existed for more than 215 million years. This makes them significantly older than snakes or lizards which also belong to the reptile group of animals. Some of the largest turtles are aquatic, meaning they live in the water although they still breathe air.
 

Turtles Care
Learning as much as you can about caring for turtles is vital to growing a healthy and long-living turtle. Our Turtle Care Sheets provide species specific care information, while our Turtle Pictures show you what various turtles look like both in captivity and in the wild.
