Amphibians
KINGDOM-Animalia. PHYLUM-Chordata. CLASS-Reptilia. Class Reptilia includes snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and turtles. Reptiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded) and are vertebrates (have a spine). All reptiles have scaly skin, breathe air with lungs, and have a three-chambered heart. Most reptiles lay eggs. ORDER-Testudines. Order Testudines includes all turtles and tortoises. It is divided into three suborders. Domain: Eukarya. The loggerhead sea turtle belongs to the domain Eukarya. The main characteristic of this domain is that all organisms are eukaryotic, where eu means true and karyo means nut or in this case nucleus (Guill, 1960). Loggerhead sea turtles belong to the subphylum Vertebrata, which stems from the Latin root vertebra meaning a joint or backbone (Duermit, 2007; Guill, 1960). Characteristics of the subphylum vertebrata are that all the organisms have a vertebral column that is a main skeletal structure along the length of its body. The seven living species of sea turtles are: leatherback sea turtle, green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, flatback sea turtle and olive ridley sea turtle. All species except the leatherback are in the family Cheloniidae. The origin of Sea Turtles goes back to the Late Jurassic (150 Ma) with genera such as Plesiochelys, from Europe. In Africa, the first marine turtle is Angolachelys, from the Turonian of Angola. btw, dont answer something if u dont know how to answer it. A turtle's taxonomy is how it is classed. It is in the kingdom of amphibians. The phylum of chordata. The class of reptilia. The order of tustudines. The family of Cheloniidae, which are sea turtles with shells covered with scutes (horny plates). The loggerhead sea turtle belongs to the order Testudines (NOAA, 2013). Testudine is the order of reptiles that has 260 living species of turtles and tortoises. Turtles and tortoises, or testudines, are different from other reptiles because they do not have holes in the side of the skull. Loggerhead sea turtles belong to the subphylum Vertebrata, which stems from the Latin root vertebra meaning a joint or backbone (Duermit, 2007; Guill, 1960). Characteristics of the subphylum vertebrata are that all the organisms have a vertebral column that is a main skeletal structure along the length of its body. Family Cheloniidae includes sea turtles whose shells are covered with scutes (horny plates). Family Dermochelyidae includes sea turtles whose shells are instead covered with leathery skin. There is only one extant species in this family, the leatherback turtle.  There are seven species of sea turtles. They are the leatherback sea turtle, green sea turtle, loggerhead sea turtle, Kemp's ridley sea turtle, hawksbill sea turtle, flatback sea turtle and olive ridley sea turtle. The origin of Sea Turtles goes back to the Late Jurassic (150 Ma) with genera such as Plesiochelys, from Europe. In Africa, the first marine turtle is Angolachelys, from the Turonian of Angola. Sea turtles feed on a wide range of animals and plants. They are mostly omnivorous in their adult life, except the green sea turtle which is herbivorous, changing from a carnivorous diet when young. Adult green sea turtles are herbivores. The origin of Sea Turtles goes back to the Late Jurassic (150 Ma) with genera such as Plesiochelys, from Europe. In Africa, the first marine turtle is Angolachelys, from the Turonian of Angola. The green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), also known as the green turtle, black (sea) turtle, or Pacific green turtle, is a large sea turtle of the family Cheloniidae. It is the only species in the genus Chelonia. Its appearance is that of a typical sea turtle. C. mydas has a dorsoventrally flattened body, a beaked head at the end of a short neck, and paddle-like arms well-adapted for swimming. Adult green turtles grow to 1.5 metres (5 ft) long.
