    The document describes the key parts of a turtle's anatomy. It notes that turtles have scaly skin and a hard shell that covers their upper body and into which they can withdraw their head for defense. Their underside is softer. Other parts described include the head, eyes protected by three eyelids, short front and rear limbs that can be flippers, a tail that tucks into the shell and is longer in males, a beak-like mouth with strong jaws, and claws on their limbs.
