The official channel of the France 3 show. C'est pas sorcier, the magazine of discovery and science. Cousin of the snake, the crocodile and the lizard, the turtle appeared at about the same time as the dinosaurs. After more than 200 million years of evolution, here it is today, still armed with its precious shell, quietly breaking longevity records among vertebrates... Our peaceful reptile has conquered a third of the oceans and half of the land masses, easily supporting life in the desert, hiding in the muddy depths of marshes, or traveling thousands of kilometers across the oceans, launched into very long migrations. Between Guyana and Corsica, Fred, Jamy and Sabine introduce us to the world of these fascinating old ladies with shells. Where do turtle shells come from? How do they manage to disappear inside this strange box of bones? What routes do leatherback turtles take when they migrate? How does the Earth's magnetism guide them on their way?
