Tortoises

The tortoise is a reptile which lives on land. Like their aquatic cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. They move slowly, and eat vegetation. Most are quite small, but island tortoises have several times evolved to much larger sizes such as the very famous ones on the Galapagos Islands.
​
One easy way to tell the different between Tortoise and Turtles is to look at their feet and shells. Water turtles have flippers or webbed feet, and their shells are flatter and more streamlined. Tortoises have stubby, elephant-like feet and heavier, domed shells.
