Product Description
These Beautiful Colored Turtles are Hand Made in Thailand by a small group of artists working out of their Homes. Most are made in the Northern Regions of Thailand, around the city of Chiang Mai. A couple originally started this business as a way for People to Learn a Skill and make Money for their Families. They are made with the Cloth and Sand. The Sand is delivered by Truck then Distributed to the Families. I Love that this Sand comes from Koh Chang, a Small Island South of Bangkok. Koh Means Island, Chang means Elephant. This Island is home to Several Elephant Sanctuaries. These toys work great for a variety of uses including bean bag toss, cornhole, or even use as a decorative paper weight.
Turtles are an order of reptiles known as Testudines, characterized by a shell developed mainly from their ribs. Modern turtles are divided into two major groups, the side-necked turtles and hidden neck turtles, which differ in the way the head retracts. There are 360 living and recently extinct species of turtles, including land-dwelling tortoises and freshwater terrapins. Turtle shells are made mostly of bone; the upper part is the domed carapace, while the underside is the flatter plastron or belly-plate. Its outer surface is covered in scales made of keratin, the material of hair, horns, and claws. The carapace bones develop from ribs that grow sideways and develop into broad flat plates that join up to cover the body. Turtles are ectotherms or "cold-blooded", meaning that their internal temperature varies with their direct environment. They are generally opportunistic omnivores and mainly feed on plants and animals with limited movements. Many turtles migrate short distances seasonally. Sea turtles are the only reptiles that migrate long distances to lay their eggs on a favored beach.
