turtle, (order Testudines), any reptile with a body encased in a bony shell, including tortoises. Although numerous animals, from invertebrates to mammals, have evolved shells, none has an architecture like that of turtles. The turtle shell has a top (carapace) and a bottom (plastron). The carapace and plastron are bony structures that usually join one another along each side of the body, creating a rigid skeletal box. This box, composed of bone and cartilage, is retained throughout the turtle’s life. Because the shell is an integral part of the body, the turtle cannot exit it, nor is the shell shed

reptile, any member of the class Reptilia, the group of air-breathing vertebrates that have internal fertilization, amniotic development, and epidermal scales covering part or all of their body. The major groups of living reptiles—the turtles (order Testudines), tuatara (order Rhynchocephalia [Sphenodontida]), lizards and snakes (order Squamata), and crocodiles (order Crocodylia, or Crocodilia)—account for over 8,700 species. Birds (class Aves) share a common ancestor with crocodiles in subclass Archosauria and are technically one lineage of reptiles, but they are treated separately (see bird). The extinct reptiles included an even more diverse group of animals that ranged from the marine plesiosaurs, pliosaurs,

Reptile itself is a class (Reptilia) under phylum Chordata. Living reptiles are of four types: Turtles and Tortoises, Snakes and Lizards, Crocodiles and Caiman, and Tuatara. Reptiles ruled the land, water and air in Mesozoic era, but most of them became extinct about 60 million years ago. There are only four living orders: Rhyncocephalia Squamata Chelonia Crocodilia. Rhyncocephalia includes a distant relative of lizards, named Tuatara. It is a living fossil and found only in New Zealand. Squamata is order of lizards and snakes and is the most successful order of living reptiles. Chelonia (often referred to as Testudines ) includes turtles and tortoises; both those living primarily in water and those living on land. Their body remains covered by hard carapace. Crocodilia is an order of large, lizard-shaped, and predatory reptiles. It includes crocodiles, gharials, alligators and caiman.
