How the turtle swims

Turtles have a pair of forelegs in the form of paddle legs that give them the dexterity to swim in the water. Although all his life wandering in water, occasionally vertebrate group animals, this class of reptiles still have to occasionally rise to the surface of the water to take a breath. That's because turtles breathe with lungs. Turtles generally migrate long distances in a not too long time. The distance of 3,000 kilometers can be covered in 58 - 73 days.
