How many muscles does a turtle have?
Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (the crown group of the superorder Chelonia), characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield. I'm not finding a total # of muscles. It likely depends on the type of turtle in question. ChaCha!
