Turtles are cold-blooded animals, just like reptiles. They rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature and metabolism. Turtles have a bony shell that covers their body, which is one of their defining characteristics. The shell is made up of two parts: the carapace (the top portion) and the plastron (the bottom portion). Turtles are ectothermic, which means that they are dependent on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature and metabolism. This is a characteristic of reptiles, as they are also ectothermic. Turtles and reptiles both have scaly skin. The scales on a turtle's skin are small and are covered by a layer of keratin, the same substance that makes up our hair and nails. Turtles, like reptiles, lay eggs. However, turtles lay their eggs on land, while most reptiles lay their eggs in water. Turtles and reptiles both belong to the class Reptilia, which is one of the five classes of vertebrates. Turtles are also a monophyletic group, which means that they share a common ancestor and are more closely related to each other than to any other group of animals. In conclusion, turtles are often considered to be reptiles due to their similarities in characteristics and classification, but they are a separate group known as Testudines or Chelonia. Turtles are unique reptiles that are known for their protective shells. The shell is actually a part of the turtle's skeleton and is made up of two parts: the carapace, which is the top portion, and the plastron, which is the bottom portion. The carapace is made up of bony plates that are covered in a layer of horny scutes, while the plastron is made up of a single piece of bone.
