We all are well aware of turtles – the reptiles that possess a hard outer shell and have been living on planet Earth for the past 260 million years. These reptiles have a long lifespan – they can live up to 150 years and they live mainly in water, unlike tortoises that live mainly on land. Turtles have influenced both Eastern as well as Western cultures, and they often symbolize wisdom, longevity, and guidance. In Eastern traditions like Chinese Buddhism and Taoism, turtles are often found in temples as symbols of protection, and in the New Age Movement popular in the West, turtles represent the connection between Earth and heaven.
