Explanation:
The alimentary canal is also referred to as the digestive tract or the gastrointestinal tract. In a turtle, the alimentary canal consists of the mouth, the esophagus, the stomach, the intestines, and the cloaca.
Turtles have a beak for their mouth rather than lips seen in mammals. The tongue is small and does not extend out of the mouth. Turtles also lack teeth. The stomach of a turtle is narrow.
