Various species of turtles are adapted to different environments, such as freshwater, seawater, and terrestrial habitats. Comparisons of histological and ultrastructural features of the tongue of the juvenile Hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata bissa, with those of freshwater turtles should reveal some aspects of the relationship between the structure of the lingual epithelium and the environment.
