Tortoise skin is typically characterized by a hard, bony shell covered in a layer of keratin, giving it a smooth and polished appearance. The skin beneath the shell is usually tough and leathery, often with a muted color palette that includes shades of brown, green, and yellow. The distinct patterns and textures can vary significantly between species, with some exhibiting intricate markings. Overall, tortoise skin serves as both protection and insulation for the animal.
