Abstract

Chelonians are mechanically unusual vertebrates as an exoskeleton limits their body wall mobility. They generallymove slowly on land and have aquatic or semi-aquatic lifestyles. Somewhat surprisingly, the limitedexperimental work that has been done suggests that their energetic cost of transport (Co...
