đą A Turtleâs Shell Isnât Just a Shell
It may look like armor, but a turtleâs shell is actually a living part of its body.
The "carapace" is connected to the ribs and backbone, and the shell contains "nerves and blood vessels" meaning turtles can feel through it. đ€Ż
âš Itâs not just protection. Itâs living, sensitive anatomy.
Green sea turtle hatchlings face incredibly tough odds, with only a tiny fraction surviving to adulthood. Thatâs why protecting turtles and their ocean home matters so much. đđ
Green sea turtles are still endangered. Statistics say only one in thousand survives.
