With its retractable neck and shield-shaped shell, the turtle is one of the most distinctive and distinctive animals on the planet. The docile and deliberate nature of the theme of the tenth coin that shines in the darkness of the successful series Colorful Creatures, has also made the turtle a popular mascot, whether in the form of terrestrial turtle or aquatic or semi-aquatic turtle, there are 356 species different from live turtles today, although some are in serious danger of extinction.
It is estimated that turtles have been around for 220 million years, which makes them one of the first groups of reptiles to roam the Earth. Although the turtle's reflex of removing the head when threatened implies that the reptile's retractable neck has evolved for the purpose of protecting it, many experts believe that its main function is feeding, since this movement allows aquatic turtles to catch their prey when swimming as a result of suction. The manner in which the housing provides protection to the retracted head is believed to be secondary to this function.
