Some people think a turtle and a tortoise are the same animal.
They are NOT!
A tortoise shell is more like a dome and a turtle shell is more flat.
Turtles have fins or claws and a tortoise have feet like an elephant.
If a turtle has claws then it will have 5 claws. A tortoise foot will have 4 toes. Although, both of them may have an extra or a missing toe.
A turtle lives in water and on land. A tortoise lives only on land.
