Therefore, they are also called chelonians by researchers and conservationists. Chelonians are characterized by the special bony shell or carapace, which is developed from their ribs and acts as a shield. They are an old group with the very first proto-turtles having evolved over 220 million years ago in the Triassic Era. The order of Chelonii, also known as the Testudines, has three members in the group; turtles, tortoises, and terrapins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable Walking Shoes Recommended for this tour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lakpura Lesiure","offers":[{"title":"1 Guest + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359189614689,"sku":"LK6DMQJS79","price":78.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Guest + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359189647457,"sku":"LKCMVM4PFS","price":105.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359189680225,"sku":"LK9SBQW34J","price":78.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359189712993,"sku":"LKRAFMVMSX","price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359189745761,"sku":"LKN627N95P","price":97.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359189778529,"sku":"LKN46BMCQ4","price":132.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359189811297,"sku":"LK3H2HZ56M","price":97.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359189844065,"sku":"LKZJTC42JB","price":136.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359189909601,"sku":"LKC8ZGVPPZ","price":97.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359189975137,"sku":"LKF49ZY5B3","price":160.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359190040673,"sku":"LKJVBMSNS5","price":117.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359190073441,"sku":"LKRC9SNCK6","price":164.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359190106209,"sku":"LKH9NG78EN","price":117.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"7 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359190138977,"sku":"LKAKXKFMWA","price":187.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Guests + Guide + Transport + No Tickets)","offer_id":39359190171745,"sku":"LKBWAEEJ54","price":117.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Guests + Guide + Transport + Tickets)","offer_id":39359190204513,"sku":"LK3G33D2S4","price":191.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1762\/3971\/products\/LK601E0400-02-E-1280-720.jpg?v=1740553858","url":"https:\/\/lakpura.it\/products\/bentota-city-tour-from-koggala","provider":"Lakpura®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
