Turtles spend most of the day sunbathing on Sunning Rock and the logs along the river. They're never in a hurry, but they always get there in the end: slow and steady!
Laying her egg: “Am I late?”
Once it's laid: “Slow and steady!”
A baby's first words: “Hello world!”
The six Turtle babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Jungle River habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Shelly
Turtle · Common
Friendly
Favourite activity: Sunbathing on Sunning Rock
Shelly spends her mornings on Sunning Rock, warming her shell and waving at everyone who floats past on the Lazy Bend. She knows every turtle, toucan and tadpole on the river by name, and she's always happy to share her sunny spot.
“Warm shell, warmer heart.”
Secret: She has carved a tiny smiley face on the underside of Sunning Rock.

Pebble
Frost Turtle · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Shy
Favourite activity: Tucking into her shell
Pebble is small, round and frosty grey, and she looks so much like a river stone that babies sometimes sit on her by mistake. When anyone comes too close, she tucks into her shell and waits. Wait long enough and one bright eye peeks out to say hello.
“Mistaken for a stone at least twice a week. Takes it rather well.”
Secret: She collects the smoothest stones from the river and lines them up by size.

Mossy
Shadow Turtle · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Sleepy
Favourite activity: Napping under the river moss
Mossy has napped under the same patch of river moss for so long that a little moss has started growing on him. His dark shell is perfect for long, shady afternoons, and he only wakes when the evening frogs start singing.
“Part turtle, part garden. Entirely content.”
Secret: He's growing a tiny flower on his shell and checks on it every morning.

Turbo
Golden Turtle · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Sleepy
Favourite activity: Racing to his next nap
Turbo carries the glow of the Golden Dawn and the name of a racing champion, but he has only one speed: asleep. He'll happily race you to his favourite napping spot. He'll get there. Eventually. And then he'll sleep.
“Named with great optimism. Moves with great dignity.”
Secret: In his dreams, he is the fastest turtle in the Five Kingdoms.

Myrtle
Rainbow Turtle · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Curious
Favourite activity: Following the river round the Lazy Bend
Myrtle wants to know where the Jungle River goes. She follows it round the Lazy Bend, past the Mangrove Steps and as far as Toucan Falls, then swims back to tell everyone. The first Rainbow egg in living memory was seen on this river, and Myrtle is very proud of it.
“An explorer in a rainbow shell. Do make sure she comes home for tea.”
Secret: She is drawing a map of the whole river, and she has nearly reached the sea.
✓
Tank
Champion Turtle · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Clumsy
Favourite activity: Bumping into logs
Tank bumps into things all day long: logs, rocks, the palm tree and, once, a very surprised crocodile. His shell is so tough that he never notices. He just says 'Sorry!' and carries on.
“Built like a tank. Steers like one too.”
Secret: He has said 'Sorry!' to the same log over a hundred times.
Did you know? Many turtles bury their eggs in warm sand, and the temperature of the nest decides whether the babies are male or female.
