We love pets of all kinds, from the floofiest dog to the scaliest gecko — and everything in between!
Admittedly, we don't always think of turtles when the words "cute pets" come to mind, but there are millions of people who think they make the perfect companions. Whether they're living free in the wild or soaking up some rays in an artificial habitat, these shell-bound buddies are living proof that turtles are downright adorable!
