Turtles/tortoises

[dab_20]

What's the difference? Is it that tortoises don't live in water and turtles do? Any other differences?

yep pretty much, most of what I've read says the same thing http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=17&cat=1797&articleid=947

Pretty much exactly. :D Turtles have adapted to living in/near water, while tortoises have adapted to storing water and not needing to be by much water.

No clue over here...I have wondered that quite often though!
