RE: CLOSE TO THE CREATURES WITH PAPA – ORNATE BOX TURTLE

Glad to see you are still on here, still offering great content!

Quick question. How are Terrestrial Turtles and Tortoises different?

Sort:  

I think that it is mostly the shape of the feet, where tortoises have more Elephantine feet. Box Turtles can go by and even in water, but they cannot swim or paddle like other ones. Also, there may be something with the shell, since tortoises have solid shells, but, then again, so do most turtles...
