The difference between the turtle and the turtle is still very big.There are patterns on the turtle shell, the texture is very hard, and the turtle shell is relatively soft, the color is the same.At the same time, the turtle's head is relatively round, and the turtle's snout is very sharp.When in danger, the tortoise can shrink its head, tail and limbs into its shell, while the turtle can't, it can only shrink its head back, but its limbs can't stretch.
1. Tortoise shell: The biggest characteristic of the tortoise is its shell. Although there are many animals with shells, it is the only reptile.The shell is not only a protection for the tortoise, but also a part of its body, most of which is developed from the spine and ribs.
2. Diet: Turtles are omnivorous animals, as many people know, but different turtles have different food preferences. Most terrapins like to eat meat, especially fish and shrimp, while tortoises themselves have limited ability to hunt animals, so they prefer to eat vegetarian food.
3. Longevity: When it comes to turtles, the first thing that comes to mind is longevity. Although not all turtles have a long life span, such as the common Brazilian turtles and grass turtles, which generally have a life span of only about 20 years, some larger turtles can have a life span of more than 100 years, and the longest-lived Galapagos tortoises can live for about 170 years.
