TORTOISES
Tortoises eat greenstuff, tomatoes and sliced fruit. Favourite food - lettuce.
Give it fresh water every day. Let it roam free in the garden, sinking a shallow
dish in the ground so it can bathe in warm weather.
You can keep your tortoise in a wooden pen in the garden and you can
move the pen when the tortoise eats all the grass in one place, but remember that
tortoises can climb up high wire fences and escape. Some animals, like the
tortoises, hibernate (go to sleep) throughout the winter months. In October the
tortoise usually becomes very sleepy. Put him in a box on a bed of leaves or hay
and cover him with the same thing. Cover the hay with wire or a wooden lid
with holes to stop rats climbing in.
Place the, box in a shed and leave it there until March. In the spring the
tortoise will begin to wake up slowly.

LEATHERBACK TURTLES
Leatherback turtles ere huge. They are the biggest turtles in the world and
often grow to eight feet in length - longer than a bed. Some weigh over 2,800
pounds - more than a large horse.
Leatherback turtles spend their lives in the ocean Their front legs have
developed into flippers, and with these they propel themselves through the
water. Often their flippers have a spread of ten feet.
Leatherback turtles live in the warm seawater of the tropics and
semitropics all around the world. Occasionally they are found on the coasts of
our country, but only because they have been caught in a storm. These sea
turtles are amazing, because they travel thousands of miles going from one small
island to another. No one knows how they find their way.
