Turtles have several adaptations that help them survive in the wild. Some key strategies include their protective shells that shield them from predators, their ability to retract into their shells for safety, their strong sense of smell and vision to find food, their ability to regulate their body temperature by basking in the sun, and their ability to hibernate during harsh weather conditions. Additionally, turtles have a slow metabolism which helps them conserve energy and survive in environments where food may be scarce.
