#### turtles-own [var1 ...]
<breeds>-own [var1 ...]

The turtles-own keyword, like the globals, breed, <breeds>-own, and patches-own keywords, can only be used at the beginning of a program, before any function definitions. It defines the variables belonging to each turtle.

If you specify a breed instead of "turtles", only turtles of that breed have the listed variables. (More than one turtle breed may list the same variable.)

    breed [cats cat ]
    breed [dogs dog]
    breed [hamsters hamster]
    turtles-own [eyes legs]   ;; applies to all breeds
    cats-own [fur kittens]
    hamsters-own [fur cage]
    dogs-own [hair puppies]

See also globals, patches-own, breed, <breeds>-own.
