For this quiz we venture away from our feathered friends to another family of vertebrates, the turtles. But amazingly, turtles and birds share some key characteristics—they both eat using a specialized beak and lay eggs, and each group contains species that prefer an aquatic or a terrestrial habitat. Take this short quiz to test your turtle knowledge, and specifically the turtles you may encounter on your explorations of Illinois.
