Черепахи просуществовали много тысяч лет мало изменяясь, и сейчас выглядят почти также, как и в те времена, когда они в обилии бродили среди динозавров. Но за последние века численность некоторых видов достигла критической отметки.Тысячи морских черепах были переработаны в черепаший суп, почти полностью были уничтожены черепахи Галапагосского архипелага, которых мореплаватели брали с собой как живые консервы черепах можно встретить в солёной и пресной воде, в лесах, в открытом море и даже на сухой земле, ближе к пустыням Некоторые водные черепахи вторично перешли к жизни на суше, но не порывают связь с водой. на англисском
