Possum Creek. Adults and children alike will love exploring the blend of nature, history and community at Possum Creek. Hike together in one of Ohioâs best examples of a tall grass prairie. Itâs hard to imagine that this home for butterflies and bluebirds was once degraded farmland.
Turtles and tortoises are closely related. They are both reptiles from the same family (Testudines or Chelonian). The main difference between the two is that turtle is the name given to water-dwellers and tortoise is the name given to land-dwellers.
Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (or Chelonii) characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. Turtle may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English).urtles have rigid beaks, and use their jaws to cut and chew food. Instead of having teeth, which they appear to have lost about 150-200 million years ago, the upper and lower jaws of the turtle are covered by horny ridges. Carnivorous turtles usually have knife-sharp ridges for slicing through their prey.
