Turtle Shells Keep Turtles Safe
Turtles have hard shells on their backs. The shell is like a house that protects the turtle. When danger comes, the turtle pulls its head and legs inside the shell. The hard shell keeps the turtle safe from animals that want to hurt it.
The shell is very strong. It is made of bone and is covered with hard pieces. Baby turtles are born with soft shells, but they get harder as the turtle grows bigger.
Without their shells, turtles would not be safe. The shell is the most important thing that helps turtles stay alive.
