Polished Turtle Shell

View large
A shiny turtle shell with its resident, walking around, looking for something to do.

Turtles are reptiles most of whose body is shielded by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and there are about 300 species alive today.
