Do you like turtles? Then today is a cause to celebrate! The American Tortoise Rescue sponsors the 12th annual World Turtle Day today, as an observance to protect turtles, tortoises, and their habitats.
Some turtle facts from Animal Planet: turtles have been on the earth for over 200 million years, the American Box Turtle can live to be over 100, they are found on every continent (except Antarctica), their top part is called a carapace and their bottom is called a plastron, they have good eyesight and excellent smell. They also have ninja abilities and enjoy pizza.
