🐢🐚 Turtle shells are the ultimate reptilian armor! 💪 They're not just shells; they're modified ribs that have evolved over time, forming a strong and protective structure attached to their spines. 💯 Each turtle shell consists of bony plates known as scutes, with a rugged outer layer (thanks to keratin) and a sturdy inner layer. 🛡️ These scutes create a shield, defending against the elements and making turtles true champions of natural armor. 🌟 #TurtleFacts #NaturalArmor #Scutes #TurtleShel
