Explanation:

Yes, turtles belong to the class of cold-blooded animals called reptiles. In British English, a turtle is a type of reptile which either lives in the sea or in freshwater. If you’re a speaker of North American English, however, ‘turtle’ is a broader term: it refers to any reptile belonging to the order Testudines, including those that live on land (which British English speakers call tortoises or terrapins rather than turtles). The former name for the order Testudines was Chelonia, which is why all members of this order (turtles, tortoises, and terrapins) are known as chelonians.

Some people think that turtles might be classed as amphibians. Admittedly, reptiles and amphibians are both types of cold-blooded creature and, like amphibians, some turtles can live on both land and in water. However, there are some major differences between reptiles and amphibians, as outlined below, which make it clear why turtles are reptiles:

Explanation:

Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines characterized by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield.[3] "Turtle" may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English).[4] The order Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known members of this group date from the Middle Jurassic,[1] making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than snakes or crocodilians. Of the 356 known species[2] alive today, some are highly endangered.[2]
