It's Turtle Day! 

Not all turtles are ninjas who eat pizza. Here are some real facts about turtles:

Fact 1: There have been turtles on this planet for over 200 million years.

Fact 2: Turtles have a hard shell. Some—but not all—turtles can tuck inside the shell to be extra safe.  

Fact 3: The turtle's shell grows with it—they never grow too big for it. 

Fact 4: Sea turtles lay eggs deep in the sand. When the eggs hatch, they have to dig out. After they come out, they hustle to the water.
