Why does this turtle have a secret hinge? 🐢 Meet Sherbert, an eastern box turtle with one cool trick up his shell. Most turtles rely on their hard shells for protection, but Sherbet goes a step further—with a hinge on the bottom of his shell that lets him snap shut completely, like a box. #Science #Turtles #Wildlife #ScienceExplained | Museum of Science, Boston

The plastron is the ventral (underside) portion of a turtle’s shell, formed from modified ribs and dermal bone. Its structure varies widely across species, reflecting differences in habitat, movement, and behavior.

Box turtles are so-called because they can completely close up their shell, much like a box. There is a 'hinge' located on the plastron, or the lower part of the shell, that allows for total closure. | Animals Videos
