Question

the choice is yours

Answer 1

neither, it's dead

Answer 2

Let's remove most of your backbone, ribs, and sternum. What would you be?

Answer 3

it would be dead, because a turtles shell is part of its body..its not like a hermit crab where they have to find shells

Answer 4

It's dead unfortunately.

Answer 5

Unfortunately both choices are wrong. It would be dead. If only it was just naked or homeless. But, alas, nature works in cruel ways sometimes. Dead is the real answer.

Answer 6

actually if a turle looses its shell it is dead. Their shell is actually their rib cage which is wide and fused together!

Answer 7

Neither, It is choice C none of the above. It is Dead because it has no spine :(

Answer 8

I think it's both!

Answer 9

It's the 'Twilight Zone.'  "Been here: done this."

Does this question just keep getting rotated?  I believe it has been addressed and answered many times.  Is your memory that short?

The correct answer is: "Neither of the above: It's dead."

And DO you plan to award 10 pts. for the effort people put into loading this nonsense to see if you had a shedding question?

This forum is not for wasting time.  It's for people who need help trying to find it.  But... you have a right to ask what you will.

I just ask that the next time you ask - keep in mind that questions like this prevent some help from happening.  Some truly caring people get tired of the games, and leave this site.

So, again.  "It's just dead."  

Did you not know this when you asked?

Answer 10

the shell of all turtles and tortoise are part of their back and belly so unless you kill it then emty it out, then you just got a shell and a dead turtle and they don't live in their shells they have burrows and driftwood.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Answer 13

Both. And dead, seeing as how it would be lacking a spinal cord.
