Is a turtel a in veribate or invertebrate?

A turtle is a vertebrate, not an invertebrate. Vertebrates are animals that have a backbone or spinal column, and turtles belong to the class Reptilia, which includes all reptiles. They possess a well-defined skeleton, including a bony or cartilaginous shell that serves as protection. In contrast, invertebrates are animals that lack a backbone, such as insects and mollusks.
