World Turtle Day is a time for people to celebrate turtles and all their glory. Some people keep turtles as pets, while others simply find them to be interesting animals. World Turtle Day isn't just about turtles, though. It's also about tortoises. Many people forget about tortoises, or they just don't realize the difference. For one, many turtles can live on both land and in water, without being limited to one or the other. Tortoises, however, live strictly on land. The lifespans are also very different between turtles and tortoises. Turtles can live between 20 and 40 years, while tortoises can live somewhere between 80 to 150 years.

World Turtle Day was founded by the American Tortoise Rescue in 1990. They wanted people to know more about these gentle animals, and to also have more respect for them. They have helped save tons of turtles and tortoises so more could be born each year. They are important animals, but they are also threatened with being an endangered species, which could lead to them becoming extinct.

There are tons of ways to celebrate World Turtle Day. For one, make sure that if you see turtles trying to cross a busy road, help them across. Other people may want to spread information about turtles and tortoises. People who are very festive may even dress up as turtles. Below are some items you can use to celebrate World Turtle Day.
