Do you know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise?

Well i have met too many people who do not know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise, well read on if u are one of them....

Actually there is a division of the reptile family called the “chelonians.” And there are 3 variants of it: namely, Turtles, Tortoises and Terrapins, so whats the difference between the 3?

Turtles live in an aquatic environment. Firstly they have webbed feet with which it can swim more easily and a streamlined body (Main difference btw turtles and tortoises) The average turtle spends most of its life in oceans, lakes or rivers, and it has evolved adaptations that reflect this lifestyle. Turtles normally only come on shore when they are laying eggs and pnce the eggs hatch, the baby turtles will head straight to the sea (Sadly, not all survive... we shall go into this topic in a future post)

Tortoises are primarily land-dwelling creatures. They are not designed for the sea thus they appear stumpier-looking than turtles, with stubby, strong legs and a more rounded body shape. Tortoises that live in hot climates usually stay underground during the day (remember, reptiles are cold-blooded and need to protect themselves from extreme temperatures).

Terrapins are a kind of hybrid between turtles and tortoises. Like their cousins, the amphibians, terrapins spend equal amounts of time in the water and on land, and they can always be found in (or near) ponds, lakes and rivers. Terrapins are most often considered to be more closely related to turtles than to tortoises.
Dun fall on the vague impression that all turtles are “very slow reptiles that carry their houses on their backs.” Know the difference. And just my opinion, i dun think turtles are slow, since they can swim so gracefully in water.
