From the land giants of the Galápagos to the small but mighty Kemp’s ridley sea turtles, we discover what makes these reptiles such incredible eco-ninjas! We chase a speedy pancake tortoise, ask questions of a marine turtle expert, meet a ‘punk’ turtle and shed light on the origins of the Beast of Bosco.

As always, our eager reporters Rhona and Rusty get the scoop on the latest wildlife news.

Plus, young readers can make their own walnut-shell turtle hatchling, solve puzzles and mazes, and take part in a monthly competition to design a shell!
