It took the slow-moving turtle most of the morning to creep across the road to his pond.

The turtle pushed his leathery body inside his hard shell when he saw the fox coming.

Although many people keep a turtle as a pet, these reptiles do have bite and carry germs.

The shelled turtle made its way to the seashore where it laid its eggs and then swam away.

Only some types of turtle can hide their heads in their shell to protect themselves from other animals.
