Turtle Facts
龜二三事
Feeding time
Tortoises love to eat grass, leaves, flowers, and some fruits. Fresh water turtles also eat plants,
together with worms, snails, insects, and some small crabs and fish. Sea turtles gulp down soft foods
such as jellyfish, sponges, or algae. Turtles and tortoises have no teeth so they cannot chew, but
have to swallow things whole.
進食時間
龜愛吃草，葉，花，和一些水果。
淡水龜同樣也愛吃植物，同時也有蠕蟲，蝸牛，昆蟲，以及一些小螃蟹和小魚。
海龜能一口吞下軟軟的食物，如海蜇，海綿生物，或是水藻。
烏龜與海龜都沒有牙齒，所以它們不能咀嚼，但能一口全吞食物。
How old?
Turtle shells can tell you how old the creatures are. More layers grow over the years (like the rings of a
tree). If you look at their shell from the side, you can count the layers to work out their age.
多大了？
龜殼能告訴你，該生物的年齡。
殼上的層紋隨著歲月與日俱增（就像樹上的環(huán)狀一樣）。
如果你從一邊觀望它們的殼，然后你能一層層數(shù)層紋，隨后計算出它們的年齡。

Sitting in the sun
Freshwater turtles can live in water or on the land. If their body temperature falls too low, they climb out
of the water to sunbathe. The sunshine helps them get warm and keeps parasites away.
享受日光浴
淡水龜能生活在水中或是陸地上。
如果它們的體溫降得太低，它們爬出水面，享受日光浴。
日照幫助它們變暖，驅趕走寄生蟲。
When winter comes
Freshwater turtles and tortoises will hibernate to survive harsh winters. Sea turtles don’t hibernate, but
migrate instead. Migration is where a creature moves to a warmer place until winter has passed.
當冬天來了的時候
淡水龜和烏龜為了活過嚴冬，會進行冬眠。
海龜不需冬眠，但會進行遷徙。
遷徙指的是，生物搬到更溫暖的地方，直到冬天過去。
