Thousands of species of animals are found on the earth. One of them is a jive turtle, which is special in many ways. Do you know which is the longest living organism on earth? of course, it is a tortoise. It is also believed that turtles are around 150–200 years old. According to ancient religious texts, at the time of Samudra Manthan, Lord Vishnu took the 'Kachhap Avatar' (incarnation as a tortoise). It is believed that the life of turtles is maximum due to the blessings of God. Their existence on earth is millions of years old. These snakes, lizards and crocodiles are already living on the earth. You will be surprised to know that a few years ago scientists found a 12 million-year-old fossil of the turtle.

There are about 350 species of turtles on the earth, some of which live in water and some on land. However, today many species of turtles are on the verge of extinction. Hardly you will know that except in Antarctica, turtles live on all continents. Although almost all animals have teeth, turtles do not have teeth in their mouths. Instead, they have a bone plate like a sharp plate in their mouth, which helps them to chew food.

Turtles usually move at a speed of 270 meters per hour (6.4 kilometres per day). According to the Guinness World Record, so far the maximum speed of a turtle has been recorded at one kilometre per hour. Turtle armour is so strong that it can withstand even a gunshot. It is believed that to break their armour, they will need 200 times more weight than their weight. Although eagle birds know how to break it. They fly high enough to press the turtle into their claws and then drop it there on the stones or hills, which breaks the armour.
