Cryptodira (suborder) (Testudines (order), Anapsida (subclass), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Suborder containing most living tortoises and turtles; the name means "hidden neck," and they differ from members of Pleurodira (side-neck turtles) who fold their neck under the edge of the shell, but cannot withdraw the head. In addition to differences in the neck, skulls vary in size and shape between the two groups, though all are made up of the same bony elements. The pleurodiran and cryptodiran turtles differ fundamentally in lower jaw architecture and musculature.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Onderorde die de meeste levende schildpadden bevat. De Latijnse naam betekent 'verborgen hals' en ze verschillen van de Pleurodira (halswenders) die hun hals onder hun schild vouwen, maar hun kop niet kunnen intrekken. Verder hebben de schilden van de twee groepen andere afmetingen en vormen, hoewel ze van dezelfde benige elementen gemaakt zijn. De zeeschildpadden uit de twee groepen verschillen fundamenteel in de bouw van de onderkaak en de musculatuur.
