Explanation:
Turtles, Tortoises, and Terrapins are reptiles of the order Testudines (all living turtles belong to the crown group Chelonia), most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilagenous shell developed from their ribs. The Order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species, the earliest turtles being known from around 215 million years ago,[1] making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups, and a much more ancient group than the lizards and snakes. About 300 species are alive today; some are highly endangered. Turtles are ectothermic or cold-blooded, which means that their body temperature changes with their environment.
