Yeah. If you would take a look at a picture of a red eared slider, and then of a gopher tortoise, what differences can you see? Well, the tortoise has bigger, more elephant-like legs, used for walking on land. The shell is more of a dome shape. The turtle, on the other hand, has webbed feet and a streamlined shell-he's built for swimming. The tortoise can't swim, it'll sink.
