Answer: It's a sea turtle!

A sea turtle is a kind of turtle that lives in the ocean. It has a hard, snug shell on its back and big flat flippers to help it swim.

  • Shell: keeps the turtle safe like a little house.
  • Flippers: help the turtle swim fast through the water.
  • Breathes air: even though it lives in the sea, it comes up to the surface to breathe.
  • Baby turtles: hatch from eggs on the beach and walk to the sea when they are tiny.

Let's pretend to be a sea turtle: tuck your arms by your sides like flippers, curl your chin in a little like your head is in a shell, and wiggle your body to swim. Great job — you are a sea turtle!
