Text
Leatherback turtle. Photo credit: NOAATestudines is the order of reptiles containing all turtles. All living turtles are in Chelonia; but some extinct turtles are Testudines but not Chelonia.
Testudines are anapsids, that is, their skulls lack temporal openings, and they are classified by cladists in the taxon Anapsida. All other extant amniotes have temporal openings (although in mammals the hole is obscured).

Dermochelidae - Leatherback sea turtlesTurtles, a generic name for the group of reptiles which includes tortoises and terrapins, are reptiles most of whose body is shielded by a special bony shell developed from their ribs. All extant, or living, turtles are members of the order Chelonia, as well as the superorder Testudines, which includes both living and extinct varieties of turtle.
There are two major groups of turtles: sea turtles, which grow to large sizes and live in the oceans in the temperate and tropical regions of the earth, and fresh-water turtles.
Fresh-water turtles which spend the majority of their time on the land are generally called tortoises. In the United Kingdom aquatic fresh-water turtles are known as terrapins. Fresh-water turtles are generally much smaller, ranging in size from a few centimeters to a few feet long. All turtles have a protective shell around their bodies. The top part of their case is called the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge.
The size of turtles can vary from a few centimetres to up to two meters. Turtles generally live a long time; some individuals are known to have lived longer than 150 years.
The first turtles already existed in the era of the dinosaurs, some 200 million years ago. Turtles are the only surviving branch of the even more ancient clade Anapsida, which includes groups such as the procolophonoids, millerettids and pareiasaurs. Most of the anapsids became extinct in the late Permian period, with the exception of the procolophonoids and the precursors of the testudines (turtles).
Even though they spend large amounts of their lives underwater, turtles are air-breathing reptiles, and must surface at regular intervals to refill their lungs with fresh air. They also spend part of their lives on dry land. Sea turtles lay their eggs on dry sandy beaches, and are highly endangered largely as a result of beach development.

Meanings of the word Turtle:
- The animal Turtle.
- The Turtle was the first military submarine. It was built by American David Bushnell with the intention of sinking British warships during the American Revolutionary War.
- A turtle is a type of robot which moves round on wheels on a flat surface. Its movements can be programmed in using a computer or it can programmed to perform pseudorandom movements. When it is low on energy it will return to its home for a power up. There have been recently ideas to try to use turtles to explain evolution. What happens is something like this: You have several turtles in a ring. They all have different functions. Some of them (the carnivores) will try to energy from the other turtles. Somehow the turtles reproduce other turtles (details not known, perhaps there are 'dead turles' which encounter a 'live' turtle).
- There is an American folk-rock band called The Turtles, best known for the 1967 hit "Happy Together".
