Sea Turtle

This animal is a sea turtle. It has a hard shell like a strong backpack. The shell keeps it safe from danger.

It has big, strong flippers that work like paddles. The flippers help the turtle swim through the ocean.

• Where it lives: In the sea (the ocean).
• What it eats: Plants and little animals in the water.
• Baby turtles: Tiny baby turtles hatch from eggs on the beach and crawl to the water.

Try this fun idea: Pretend to be a sea turtle. Curl your arms in front like a shell, then flap your arms like flippers to 'swim' around the room.

Remember to be kind to turtles: keep beaches clean so baby turtles can get to the ocean safely.
