Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The turtle had lived for almost 100 years. The pollution and debris in the lake the turtle had lived in was very harmful to it, and the people wanted to help out because they new it was not only their home, but the turtles home as well, so the people did what they could to keep it safe.

Answer:

HANOI, Vietnam — A very large turtle, a mythic image of Vietnamese autonomy and life span that had discreetly rowed around Hanoi's focal lake for a considerable length of time — some state hundreds of years — is dead, official state news media has announced.

The turtle, known as Cu Rua, or Great-Grandfather Turtle, gauged an expected 360 pounds and was accepted to have passed on of common causes. Its exact age was obscure.

It is hard to exaggerate Cu Rua's profound and social hugeness right now and Confucian nation, where the updates on the turtle's downfall provoked an overflowing of bitterness and hand-wringing.
