Sea Turtle

This is a sea turtle. It is an ocean traveller. It has a hard shell on its back. It has big, strong flippers like paddles.

Where it lives:

• In the warm ocean.
• On sandy beaches to lay eggs sometimes.

What it eats:

• Small fish, sea plants, and tiny sea animals.

How it moves:

1. It swims with its flippers. It glides through the water.
2. On land it crawls slowly using its flippers.

Try a fun pretend game:

1. Stand up and stretch your arms out like flippers.
2. Move your arms up and down and shuffle slowly like a turtle.
3. Sing or say: "Turtle, turtle, slow and strong, swim in the sea all day long."

If you see a real turtle, only look and smile. Do not touch it.
