Interesting Facts About Turtles.

Turtles are some of the cutest creatures in the sea!

Some people like to keep them as pets, if it’s a tiny turtle, or a huge tortoise, there is pretty much no exception.

Let’s find out some facts about these reptilian cuties that will make you love them even more!

Being the adaptive creatures they are, turtles can survive in pretty much any condition.

While most of the species are found in southeastern America and South Asia, they can still be found in other parts of the world.

Sea turtles can sometimes end up in the European Arctic, but you won’t find any in Antarctica.

The leatherback turtle is the most widely distributed turtle, venturing into the Arctic Circle and as far south as the bottom of New Zealand.

This might not seem THAT crazy – until you take into account that there are over 300 species of turtles!

Of course, their laying habits may be a little different, but all turtles lay their eggs on land.

For example, leatherback turtles will migrate thousands of miles just to lay their eggs! They will travel back to the same beach that they were born on and lay their own eggs.

River turtles will usually lay their eggs near to where they live and eat on the shore.
