Red, same as ours. There is still oxygen in there.
yes. As an ex-turtle hunter, I can swear that turtle blood is red.
i have a tortoise with red blood cells ;)
and turtle meat is tasty, too.
yeah its red. was driving through a wooded area the other day and saw a turtle crawling out into the road so i pulled over to help it, but when i got out of the car i saw someone hit it. turtle explosions are red.
@JONESGH and pigeon explosions are usually the same color as the feathers.
Yup, turtle blood is red. When we say they are “cold blooded” it actually means that they don’t make body heat. Instead they assume it from the environment. People are warm-blooded in that no matter what temperature it is around them, their insides are at 98.6 degrees F. (unless they are sick).
