The Pacific turtle
The body of the Pacific turtle is spindle-shaped. The two front legs are widely used like paddles. This body shape can protect it from minimal resistance when swimming for a long time in the ocean. However, it is very inconvenient to move on the mainland, so generally speaking, Pacific turtles only live on the mainland. They lay eggs on the lake and spend the rest of the time wandering in the sea.
