Coloring Turtles
Who does not know these beautiful reptiles, the turtle with its green skin and hard shield. The first turtles lived millions of years ago, when there were giant dinosaurs. When they died out, the turtles were still alive. There are sea turtles, tortoises and swamp turtles.
Funny to know that some sea turtles prefer to eat jellyfish. And swamp turtles eat all kinds of things. Worms, insects, snails, fish, frogs (and tadpoles), and even small chicks of waterfowl and water snakes! Ie!! And the tortoises? That's omnivorous, too. They eat dry grass, cacti, plants, flowers and fruits. So nice and easy.
Did you know, by the way, that turtles lovesunbathing? They do that to raise their body temperature, so they get more energy. But also to kill parasites, you know.
Some turtles can also bite, e.g. the alligator turtle. But luckily I didn't draw it! All you see here is sweet turtles. You can color them, paint them or paste them with all kinds of fun craft materials, or perhaps with rice or macaroni. Do not hold back, and just let go of the creativity inside you!
