Baby turtles are usually born from eggs laid by their mothers and can take anywhere from several months to several years to fully mature.

Their shape is also variable, with some species having a more rounded shell while others have a more pointed or oval-shaped body.

It comprises a series of bony plates, known as scutes that are covered by a tough, protective layer of keratin.

Baby turtles have a range of colors, from vibrant greens and yellows to deep browns and blacks.

Some species, such as the red-eared slider, are widely distributed in many countries. In contrast, others, such as the leatherback sea turtle, have a more limited range and can only be found in specific regions.
