Happy #WorldTurtleDay! :HappyTurtle: Yay! ❤️
Did you know that all tortoises are in fact turtles — they belong to the order Testudines or Chelonia (reptiles having bodies encased in a bony shell) — but not all #turtles are #tortoises.
One way to tell them apart is by where it lives. A #turtle lives mostly in #water, while a #tortoise is a #land animal.
Some people use the terms interchangeably but technically that's not always correct.
