Life Stragety
Today's turtles inhabit a wide variety of environments: the open seas, tropical reefs and coastlines, saltwater marshes and estuaries, freshwater areas of all sorts, and most non- arctic terrestrial biomes; including deserts, rain forests, mountains, and prairies. The bog turtle inhabits bogs and swampish areas mostly. Fossil turtles are found in roughly the same range of habitats. The leatherback turtle Dermochelys and some other sea turtles are known to range close to the poles; no fossil turtles have been found in these regions, but few people have looked.
