There are 230 species of these reptiles, they live on all continents except Antarctica. Turtles are long-lived - they can live for more than a hundred years. They also exist on Earth for a long time - the oldest fossil remains are more than 200 million years old. These creatures are covered with a shell, which is their protection from predators, they inhabited the land - deserts, steppes, water bodies - salty, fresh, swamps. They have their own day - May 23 is World Turtle Day.
