Testudines (order) (Anapsida (subclass), Reptilia (class), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Members of the order of armored marine or terrestrial reptiles usually having a shell comprising a top (carapace) and a bottom (plastron) that arise from the ribs and often join one another along each side of the body, creating a rigid skeletal box, a skull without a pineal opening, and toothless jaws. Earliest examples are very ancient, dating from the Upper Triassic 215 million years ago. There are around 300 living species of turtles, terrapins, and tortoises. Some species live in and near water, although they cannot breathe or lay eggs in water.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 為具外甲的海生或陸生爬蟲類。外殼通常包含上部(殼甲)與下部(腹甲)，由肋骨衍生而成，殼甲與腹甲在身體兩側結合，形成一個堅固的箱型骨骼架構。牠們的頭骨上無松果體孔，且顎不具齒。最早的龜鱉類生物十分古老，可追溯至兩億一千五百萬年前的上三疊紀時期，包含約三百種現存的龜、水龜及陸龜。某些龜類雖在水中或近水之處生存，卻無法在水中呼吸或產卵。 |
| Dutch ..... Orde van zee- of landreptielen, gewoonlijk met een schild bestaande uit een rugschild (carapax) en een buikschild (plastron) die uit de ribben ontstaan en vaak aan de zijkanten van het lichaam aan elkaar vastzitten, waardoor een stijf skeletachtig omhulsel ontstaat. De dieren hebben geen kruinoog en geen tanden in de kaken. De eerste voorbeelden zijn zeer oud, uit het Boven-Trias, 215 miljoen jaar geleden. Er zijn ongeveer 300 levende soorten waterschildpadden, moerasschildpadden en landschildpadden. Sommige soorten leven in het water of in de buurt van water, maar kunnen onder water niet ademen of eieren leggen. |
