What will be an ideal response?
Turtles and tortoises do not molt their thick epidermal skin. Each year, a new epidermal scale is formed
beneath the old one. This allows for the expanding growth of the animal. These epidermal scales are called
scutes.
Scutes of the plastron are the gular, humeral, pectoral, abdominal, femoral, and anal scutes. Scutes of the
carapace are the nuchal, supracaudal, marginals, centrals, and costals. Refer to Figure 20–2 in the text.
