In contrast, larger species like the Diamondback terrapin can reach up to 9 inches or more. Generally, they are considered small to medium-sized turtles.

A land turtle is a tortoise. A turtle is a sea turtle. A fresh water turtle is a terrapin. Tortoises, unlike turtles and terrapins, have flat feet that barely look like individual feet, but instead look more like they are fully part of the leg, much like an elephant's. Tortoises have a very sloped shell, where as the other turtles have much more flattened shells.
