Kingdom: Anamalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Testudines (test-uh-deen'-eez)

Other turtles that are in Order Testudines would be the Hawksbill Turtle and the Giant Tortoise.

A few characteristics that place the turtle in Class Reptilia: 1) they breath w/ lungs for throughout their lives, 2) they produce amniotic (am-nee-ah'-til) eggs covered w/ a leathery shell 3) most are oviparous (development that occurs in an egg outside the femal's body) but some are ovoviviparous (development that occurs in an egg that is hatched inside that femal's body).

What species is a turtle?

In scientific classification, "turtle" is an order, not a species (it's called "Testudines"). There are hundreds of species of turtles. The class of a turtle is Reptilia, meaning turtles are air-breathing reptiles. Common misconceptions are that turtles are amphibians, which they are not because they are reptiles, and that they have gills, which they don't because they breathe air.
