It provides a cover for the animals and nutrients that reside there, so that in hot, dry weather, or rainy storms there is covering to keep things from seeping out.\nIt also provides a habitat for many creatures.

Fish, amphibians, and reptiles have clear membranes that act as our eyes do-for protection.  This is an evolutionary adaptation so that even during exposure to grit, etc, that requires closing of the membrane, they can still see.  In land animals, the eyelids protect primarily against dryness, as well as windborne dust-this is not required for fish, as the water is constantly bathing the eye.  Even if a fish or amphibian has its eyes "closed", since the membrane is clear, they look open.

Okay here goes.First thing you need is great insect repellent to spray yourself completely to keep the nasty bugs away.Buy the strongest sun screen to protect your skin.Wear a hat to ward off sun/heat stroke.Buy 6 bottles of water and a cooler with ice to keep them cold.Make yourself some snack foods for lunch and for the munchies.I also brought hand wipes to clean the worm gunk and fish smell off my hands.Buy a cheap but good rod and real with a small tackle box filled with all the little goodies you may need.Remember above all if the fish is smaller than your hand throw the poor thing back into the water so it can grow some more.

most likely fish, or another animal that lives in water, perhaps an early reptile

Color variations would be for camouflaging itself against it's prey.  Emerald green eyes are usual for deep sea bottom dwellers, such as the chain dogfish. Crescent shaped tails are for speed and agility in the water.

i would imagine a scientist would do tests that show that a turtle is alert and able to respond, such as:\n\nvisual stimuli - put something near the turtle where it can see it - does it respond to the appearance of this item?\naural stimuli - make a noise that the turtle can hear - does it respond  to hearing that noise?\nscent stimuli - introduce a smell that the turtle can detect - does it respond?\ntactile stimuli - if you touch the turtle, does it respond?\ntemperature stimuli - if you put something hot or cold next to it, does it respond?\n\nthere are probably standard tests based on one or more of those types - and different times associated with level of alertness. clearly a sleeping turtle might not be very alert of something placed next to it.

It depends on the kind of turtle it is. Some can live for a hundred years.

just get a habitrail and keep it as a pet.\nYou can nurse it back to health. It probably wont be able to survive long outside with the injuries it has sustained.\nI caught one once and kept it as a pet it was pretty cool.

Protect and respect their habitats.  Help wildlife by building a bird feeder, composting, eliminating the use of pesticides and herbicides, etc.  In your garden use plants native to your area - do not introduce plants that are not native - they may disrupt the natural balance. \n\nPossibly one of the best things we can do is stop demanding so much of the world's resources, which, in one way or another, destroys wildlife habitat - increases global warming, destroys the rain forest, etc.  Use cloth reusable shopping bags to carry home groceries.  Buy at bulk food stores using much less packaging materials.  Recycle as much of what we use as possible - glass, soda cans, food cans, plastic containers, newsprint, etc.  Recycle toys, books, games, clothes, etc. by donating them to goodwill or Salvation Army, and shop for things you need at those stores.  Live a simpler, gentler life style.  \n\nHere are a few sites you may like to view.

Dolphins are most active when the herd is threatened. They will form a defensive line from attackers.
