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.
Most reptiles lay eggs, but in a few snakes and lizards, the eggs develop inside the motherâs body so that she gives birth to live young. Crocodiles and tortoises lay hard-shelled eggs similar to birdâs eggs. Turtules, snakes, and most lizards lay eggs with softer leathery shells. Sea turtles lay their eggs on beaches.
