Turtles are distributed in most coastal turtle (Terrapene carolina major) areas in the world, and existed in the same form at least 200 million years ago. There are 200 ~ 250 species, most of which are aquatic or semi-aquatic, most of which are distributed in tropical or near-tropical regions, and there are also many in temperate regions.
Some turtles live on land, some live in the ocean, and the rest live in fresh water. Eat fresh plants or small animals, or both. Can endure long-term fasting. Usually once a year, females lay eggs on land, and the eggs are white, round or slender. Usually, females dig holes with their hind legs and lay eggs in the holes.
