Turtle

Turtle Instincts Turtles and tortoises have a special way of sensing their surroundings that is unlike ours. They can feel the vibrations in the water and changes in pressure, which helps them pinpoint the location of food or predators. With an acute sense of smell, they expertly track down meals. Contrary to appearances, the skin of these animals is incredibly sensitive - even the rough exterior hides this surprising fact. The keepers at San Diego's renowned zoo have noticed that Galapagos tortoises clearly relish being stroked along their necks. Some turtles seem to possess instincts that remain shrouded in mystery. Equipment monitoring reveals that certain species migrate across vast distances in regular routes, traveling thousands of miles through the ocean every two or three years before returning to specific beaches to lay their precious eggs.
