How can you tell a tortoise from a turtle?
Tortoises or land turtles are land-dwelling reptiles of the family of Testudinidae, order Testudines. Like their marine cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises tend to be diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals.

Does a tortise fart?
The farting depends on the species of turtles. The Madagascan Snapping Turtle is known to fart at 74 decibels. However, other turtles have been known to fart silently. But the smell is actually quite noticeable. Most farts come from aquatic turtles and not from tortoises. So the answer is tortoises do NOT fart but it is a possibility because they are closely related to the turtle, which actually farts. Simply put, any animal with a digestive system (which includes tortoises) produces gases during digestion (the gas that you smell from farts is methane gas) and these gases can be released through the anal hole.
