Turn your sound up for the CRUNCH! Did you know that a turtle's mouth is actually called a beak? Turtles do not have teeth, instead their beaks are adapted for the food that they consume. This gopher tortoise uses his beak to munch on plants such as dandelions. 🎥: Meaghan Huseman | Mississippi Museum of Natural Science

🐢🔬 Did you know? A sea turtle does not have teeth. Sea turtles have evolved with a keratin-covered beak instead of teeth. This beak is specially adapted to their diet — from the powerful crushing beak of the loggerhead, to the soft-prey-grasping design of leatherbacks and green sea turtles. These adaptations allow turtles to feed efficiently and thrive without the need for teeth. 🎥 Video credit: Olaf Fischer — visit his page @aquanauta_diver His content is highly educational and worth explori
