Have you ever stopped to watch a turtle move? It’s like time slows down with them. But don’t let their pace fool you—turtles are survivors. They’ve been around for over 200 million years, outliving dinosaurs and witnessing the rise of humans.

🐢 Why turtles are amazing:

They can live for over 100 years.

Some sea turtles migrate thousands of kilometers every year.

Their shells are part of their skeleton—like wearing your bones on the outside!

🌍 But they’re in danger:

Plastic pollution and fishing nets threaten sea turtles.

Habitat loss affects freshwater and land turtles.

Illegal pet trade is still a problem.

💡 What we can do:

Avoid single-use plastics.

Support turtle conservation groups.

Never buy wild turtles as pets.
