Habits:
Turtles
Turtles live almost exclusively in the water. The only time they come to land is to lay eggs, but the mother abandon her young and return back to the water, leaving the hatchling alone from birth.
Tortoises
Tortoises Unlike turtles, tortoises are terrible swimmers and live on land. Mother tortoises will provide protection to their young hatchlings for around 80 days after birth- after which they survive on their own.
Physique:
Turtles
Because they spend so much time in the water, a turtle body is streamlined to help it glide more effectively. They also have fins, webbed feet, and long claws, which help them get a good grip on debris and climb onto surfaces.
Tortoises
Tortoise shells are shaped like a dome and are incredibly sturdy, to help protect them from predators, They tend to have short, sturdy feet with long claws to help them with digging.
Diet:
Turtles
Turtles are omnivores- meaning they eat both vegetation and other animals. As well as vegetation, they have been known to feed on small fish, jellyfish and insects such as earthworms.
Tortoises
Most tortoises are herbivores, surviving on a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, grass and flowers. Some species of tortoise are thought to consume up to 200 different types of plants throughout the years.
Lifespan:
Turtles
Sea turtles have an average lifespan of 60 to 70 years, with around 50 of those required for the reptile to reach maturity. The lifespan of the common turtle lies somewhere between 20 and 40 years.
Tortoises
In contrast, tortoises can live to be around 80 years old, with some having been known to live for over 150 years. Experts say it is possible for most tortoises to live for over 100 years in captivity, but living beyond that would require"carefully controlled, nurturing environments."The world's oldest tortoise is 183-year-old Jonathan, a Seychelles giant tortoise that lives on the island of Saint Helena.
