On Earth, there are 343 turtle species classified into three groups: land turtles<\/span>, aquatic turtles<\/span> and sea turtles<\/span>. Although the three reptiles belong to the same family (chelonians), their habitats are different and turtles have adapted by developing morphological characteristics allowing a better survival. A large part of turtle species is now endangered, including the species living in French Polynesia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Here are some facts:<\/p>\n

\"\u2714\ufe0f\"<\/span> Land turtles have a longer lifespan than aquatic and sea turtles. Turtle longevity record is held by the giant Seychelles and Galapagos land turtles who can reach 150 years.
\n\"\u2714\ufe0f\"<\/span> Land turtles can retract their legs and head inside their shell. Their shell is mostly dome-shaped and heavy, which prevents predators attacks.
\n\"\u2714\ufe0f\"<\/span> Aquatic turtles have webbed legs. They have a carapace usually less dome-shaped that land turtles.
\n\"\u2714\ufe0f\"<\/span> The shell of sea turtles is light, flat and streamlined. These characteristics allow it to slide better underwater.
\n\"\u2714\ufe0f\"<\/span> Sea turtles only come back to land to lay their eggs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
