Turtles |
 | | The green turtle is the most widely eaten species of reptile (particularly popular as turtle soup), and the giant Galápagos tortoise almost became extinct in the 19th century, because it was popular food for seafarers. |
 | | Turtles, except for several extinct species, lack teeth, having instead upper and lower horny plates that serve to bite off chunks of food. |
 | | Turtles generally prefer small invertebrates such as worms, snails, slugs, and crustaceans, while the larger marine turtles are able to catch fish. |
