About Tortoise
Tortoises are reptile species of the family Testudinidae of the order Testudines. They are particularly distinguished from turtles by being land-dwelling, while many turtle species are at least partly aquatic. However, like turtles, tortoises have a shell to protect from predation and other threats.
