Tortoises and turtles occupy distinct ecological niches depending on their habitat and behavior. Tortoises are primarily terrestrial, adapted for life on land with a herbivorous diet that includes grasses, leaves, and fruits, often playing a role in seed dispersal and maintaining plant diversity. Turtles, on the other hand, are often aquatic or semi-aquatic, with diets that can include both plants and animals, contributing to the balance of their freshwater or marine ecosystems. Overall, both groups are important for their roles in nutrient cycling and habitat structure.
