What is a group of turtles called?

There isn't a formally recognized group of turtles called "a [name] of turtles." The collective noun for turtles varies depending on the context and often relies on the species and situation. Some options include:

• A bale of turtles: This is used somewhat humorously, playing on the image of a large, unwieldy pile. It's not scientifically accurate.
• A nest of turtles (especially hatchlings): This refers to a group of baby turtles emerging from a nest.
• A group/herd/colony of turtles: These are general terms that can be applied, though "colony" is more appropriate for aquatic turtles that live in close proximity.
• A bask of turtles: This refers to a group of turtles basking in the sun together. It's a more descriptive and less formal term.

To be more specific, we need a name to attach to the group. For instance, we could say "a pod of sea turtles," which is a common and widely accepted term. If you had a specific name in mind, please provide it, and I can offer more information based on that.
