probably because it is
Both names refer to the same animal. In America terrapins, tortoises and turtles are all referred to as turtles. This has caused some confusion in the hobby and some pet/reptile shops here in the UK also call terrapins turtles. The peninsular cooter (also a terrapin) looks almost identical to the yellow bellied terrapin. Hope this helps.
He kind of looks like Verne from over the hedge... he might be a Box Turtle in general or maybe some species of slider.
It is hard, sharp, green with spots of yellow

It depends on where the red is on the turtle and also where you found the turtle. Also, how do you know it is a land turtle? Aquatic turtles leave the water and walk for long distances. If the red looks like a horizontal streak, on each side of the head, it could be a red ear slider. There are many pictures of turtles online and thousands of species of turtles. In the U.S., the Red Ear Slider is one of the most common species, though.
She looks like her mother told her to. No, seriously. . . |like a turtle|
Yes. The fork looks a bit different, but that's styling only.
Research. If you found the turtle your local library should have books of animals that are common in your area. You can call your local pet shop and ask them if they have someone who is knowledgable about turtles. If so, ask them if you can bring your turtle and have them look at it. If you can't transport it try a picture. ______________________________________________________________________ look at it, if it has a trait like red ears, then search "red ear turtle" on Google. they will have pictures, if the picture shows your turtle, then they will probably have the actual name. 12 year old turtle expert, Kris ______________________________________________________________________ Google some images or just send me a pic im good at this stuff
It is named that because the top of the sub looks like a turtle's shell.
