    Sea turtles, and several extinct forms, have evolved a bony secondary palate which completely separates the oral and nasal cavities. [30] The necks of turtles are highly flexible, possibly to compensate for their rigid shells. Some species, like sea turtles, have short necks while others, such as snake-necked turtles, have long ones.
