Do turtles yawn????

Mine was swimming, and it was just the night we got back from ohio, we live in sc. So he had a pretty stressful day. I see him start swimming then all of a sudden just open his mouth as wide as he can, then just go on. do they yawn? or is something wrong?

Yea they yawn and its the coolest thing I've ever seen

Because they really look like they have human emotions.. when they yawn I notice they blink a lot after that like their tired and about to sleep =)
