Turtles are an order of reptiles known as Testudines which are characterized by the protective shell developed from their ribs that enclose their body.[1] A well known species of sea turtle is the green sea turtle, which was often hunted for its shell.
History
In West Francia, jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan once hunted three regular European pond turtles to offer at the altar Sarclitas.[2]
Cultural depictions
During the Sengoku period, legends of long lived turtles, known as minogame (蓑亀), became symbols of longevity and felicity.[3] In 1582, Lady Nene gifted a trinket with an image of a minogame to the samurai Yasuke after he and Fujibayashi Naoe had eliminated a group of corrupt daikan.[4]
During the Seven Years' War, Shay Cormac found a cave painting of a great turtle as part of the story of the Sky Woman. The painting depicted the great turtle that carried a part of Earth on its back. As time passed on, the turtle and the earth on its back grew to be an island, which would be called North America.[5]
