The various turtle species of Achaea can mostly be found in aquatic and marine environments. These largely vegetarian reptiles are noted for their protective, bony carapaces and vary in size from the small green turtles of Lake Narcisse to the giant land tortoises of Zanzibaar. Turtle meat is considered a delicacy in some parts of the world, such as the plains village of Tomacula.
- Giant sea turtles
- Sea turtles are seen in various coastal regions, including the Eastern Shore, Sea Lion Cove, and the bay of New Hope. Their broad flippers are suited for life in the sea.
