This agenda slide outlines the structure of a presentation on turtles. Key topics include Turtle Biology, Species Diversity, Habitats & Adaptations, Diet Variations & Life Cycle, and Conservation Status & Interesting Facts.
Turtles are ancient reptiles with a bony shell (carapace and plastron), an ectothermic nature, and leathery eggs, dating back 220 million years. They feature four legs (flippers in sea turtles) and toothless jaws with a horny beak.
There are approximately 360 turtle species worldwide, spanning 7 families such as Cheloniidae. The slide highlights the largest turtle, the 900kg leatherback sea turtle, and the smallest, the 8cm speckled padloper.

The "Habitats" slide illustrates turtles thriving in diverse environments like oceans, rivers, forests, and deserts. It highlights adaptations such as webbed feet for swimming and strong limbs for digging protective burrows.

Land and freshwater turtles are mainly herbivores or omnivores, eating plants, fruits, algae, and often supplementing with insects or small prey. Sea turtles are carnivores that feed on jellyfish, crustaceans, sponges, and marine invertebrates, with diets varying by species, age, and habitat.

The Turtle Life Cycle timeline begins with egg deposition on Day 0, when females lay 50-200 eggs in beach nests, followed by hatchlings emerging after 60-90 days to race to the ocean. It then covers juvenile growth spurts over 1-5 years and adult maturity reached in 5-50 years, with longevity up to 100+ years.
Day 0: Egg Deposition Female lays 50-200 eggs in sandy beach nest, incubation starts. 60-90 Days: Hatchling Emerges Eggs hatch; tiny turtles dig out and race to ocean. 1-5 Years: Juvenile Growth Spurts Rapid development in size while foraging and evading predators. 5-50 Years: Adult Maturity Reached Sexual maturity; breeding begins, longevity up to 100+ years.

Over 50% of species are threatened per IUCN, mainly from habitat loss, poaching, bycatch, and climate change. The slide highlights green sea turtle recovery successes and stresses needs for protected areas and anti-poaching efforts.

The "Interesting Facts" slide features a grid of five turtle highlights: Jonathan the tortoise at 188 years old, shells formed from fused ribs, months without food via slow metabolism, 10,000 km migrations by sea turtles, and navigation using Earth's magnetic fields.

The conclusion slide, titled "Protect Our Turtles," highlights that turtles are vital ecosystem indicators. It calls for supporting conservation to preserve their legacy, thanks the audience, and invites questions with a turtle emoji.
