Turtles, members of the Testudines order, boast a rich diversity shaped by millions of years of evolution. Classified into suborders—Cryptodira, Pleurodira, and Paracryptodira—they exhibit unique adaptations, prominently their protective shells. Inhabitants of both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, turtles demonstrate a spectrum of feeding habits and reproductive strategies in the wild. However, their existence faces threats such as habitat loss and illegal trade. In captivity, enthusiasts provide controlled environments, demanding specific care to replicate natural conditions.
