We did the evolution of box turtles. The origin of box turtles are still debated, but we know that they've come from a primitive known turtle. Box turtles may live more than 100 years. Wen frightened, box turtles retract their head, tail, and limbs into their shell and clamp it shut. They wait in this position until the threat is gone. Box turtles can be dangerous to eat. At times they consume poisonous mushrooms and the toxins may linger in their flesh. We had organized notes on box turtles and how they have evolved over the years. Then we wrote a script and a bibliography on our information. Then we created a blabberize cartoon with our information.
