What's the difference between a tortoise and a tortoise?

1, living environment:

Turtles belong to amphibians and reptiles. You can live not only on land, but also in water.

Turtles live in the sea all day. Generally speaking, only in the breeding season will females leave the water and lay eggs in caves dug on the beach. Crawling on land is very difficult. It's basically scraping. Once the tortoise crawls to live on land, if it takes a long time, it will die of lack of water.

2. Food:

Turtles are omnivorous animals, mainly feeding on plants, small fish and shrimp. After each meal, they can go without eating for a long time.

Turtles mainly eat seaweed and sometimes fish. You can't eat like a turtle once and not eat for a long time.
