A biomimetic turtle includes a trunk (1), a head (3) movably connected with a front end of the trunk (1) in the front-rear direction, two front limbs (4) disposed on a front section of the trunk (1) and each rotatable relative to the trunk (1) to sway in an up-down direction, and a driving module (6) to drive the head (3) and the front limbs (4). Each front limb (4) has a curve-shaped rigid portion (42) with a recess (421), and a deformable flipper portion (43) engaged in the recess (421). With the deformable flipper portion (43) deformed and bent during swaying of the front limbs (4), a forward propelling force is generated to propel the biomimetic turtle forwardly. The head (3) is operably movable to vary the center of gravity of the biomimetic turtle in the water to facilitate ascending or descending of the biomimetic turtle.
