Fact of Turtle


  

          Turtles are reptiles with hard shells that protect them from predators. They are among the oldest and most primitive groups of reptiles, having evolved millions of years ago. Turtles live all over the world in almost every type of climate.
          According to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS), the turtle order, Testudines (or Chelonia), splits into two suborders, Cryptodira and Pleurodira, and then further splits into 13 families, 75 genera and more than 300 species.
          "Turtle," "tortoise" and "terrapin" are often used interchangeably synonyms, but there are distinct differences between the types of chelonians, according to the San Diego Zoo:
  • Turtles spend most of their lives in water such fact supports that they are adapted for aquatic life, with webbed feet or flippers and a streamlined body that supports them when they’re swimming or digging up sand to lay their eggs during mating season.
  • Sea turtles rarely leave the ocean, except to lay eggs in the sand meanwhile freshwater turtles live in ponds and lakes, and they climb out of the water onto logs or rocks to bask in the warm sun.
  • Tortoises are land animals. Their feet are round and stumpy, adapted for walking on land. They also dig burrows with their strong forelimbs, and slip underground when the sun gets too hot.


  • Terrapins live on land and in water, usually in swamps, ponds, lakes and rivers.

 Nico's Weg Film Review From the film, namely Nico's Weg, I learned a lot about how to speak German properly as well as the culture that is often done there, such as; often hear the words sorry and thank you that have become a habit of German society.

Last Holiday

Last Holiday           In last holiday from November 20 to January 5 I was on vacation, but not too far from my home. My uncle with his family came to my home and took a vacation together. We went to Cihampelas Walk or we just said "Ciwalk" with my parents while caring for a small niece / still a toddler. There we together bought "BreadTalk" branded bread, yeah maybe that brand is familiar to hear. It so delicious that no bread is left, and I always bought the cheese bread. Other than that, we bought some snack that we call it "fishball", "cheeseball", and shrimp satay. It was nice too, but the price is not friendly.          I'm on vacation to a relax place in Sabuga. We also don't forget to bought snacks there, one of which is round tofu, that's my favorite snacks since I was in elementary school until now. The place was so cool and my uncle sleeps there for a while because of the air. After so long there we finally go home
