If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

Answer 1

There is no turtle without a shell. The shell is part of his bones so a turtle without a shell would be dead. it is not like a hermit crab where when they don't have a shell they're thought of as naked. They cannot live without a shell and you cannot remove the shell unless the turtle is dead. The shell as I said before is part of his body and he can't switch from shell to shell.

Answer 2

Actually, it would be dead. Turtles tuck themselves into the shell to protect themselves from predators. To give your question a specific answer, would be homeless. Anyway, a turtle's shell is part of its anatomy. Without the shell it would not live.

Answer 3

Is this a regular turtle or one of those teenage mutant ninja turtles?

Answer 4

Niether it would be dead, thet can not live without their shells. Turtles can not leave their shell they are attached to it.

Answer 5

naked =)

Answer 6

depends on if the turtle is food grade and is ready for the table to make such a judgement call.

Answer 7

Most likely it would be both, unless he has boxers under that shell. The question is now, what kinda boxers does he have on?

Both

Answer 9

He is a target to be eaten by his mother or other creatures in his pond--no shell means no life or future.

DEAD
