In regards to sea turtles, I'm not really sure they make much sense as lab animals either.
Especially since part of their purpose was for "exo-armor" creation very early on, and you're not going to get very tough shells on sea turtles. Box turtles might make more sense if they wanted a break from the "red eared slider" depiction.
They don't even look like they have flippers in those early sketches; pretty sure they have little toes in the Eastman layouts.
