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. A turtle is an animal in armor. Much of its body lies within a protective shell, which has openings for the turtle's four chunky legs, short tail, and head. When danger threatens, many turtles pull legs, tail, and head into the shell.But unlike some animals that live in shells, such as hermit crabs and snails, a turtle cannot crawl out of its shell.he turtle's ribs are firmly fixed to the inside of its shell, so in order to breathe the turtle uses two special sets of muscles. One set pulls the other body organs away from the lungs, filling the lungs with air. Then a second set of muscles pulls the organs against the lungs, forcing the air out.
