Why is it important that animals like turtles, tortoises, snails, and clams have shells?
They spend much or all of their lives in water.
The shell is basically a sturdy box made of bone and includes the animal's spine and ribs.
They can burrow to hide from predators or roll up into a ball.
The animals can tuck their soft bodies into their shells faster than they can move away from the predator.
