No, tortoises are reptiles. They are cold-blooded, have four legs, and lay amniotic eggs.
Turtles and Tortoises have highly similar DNA, as tortoises are a subgroup of turtles.
tortoises don't like to be near pigeons (because they eat tortoises), they don't like to be picked up too many times a day and they don't like being teased.
The Galapagos Islands got their name from the Giant Tortoises that live there. These tortoises were baptized by the Spaniards in the 16th century as Galapago.
On his head.
Tortoises infact do sometimes fight, mainly the desert. the males are very territorial and some females
No
I wouldn't mix reptiles and amphibians.
There are several amphibians that live in the Savannas. Some of the amphibians are tortoises, snakes, crocodiles, and lizards.
No. They cannot breathe underwater. Turtles and tortoises are reptiles.
No. Amphibians are a different group than reptiles. Amphibians are animals such as; Frogs, Toads, Salamanders, etc. Reptiles are animals such as; Turtles, Tortoises, Snakes, Lizards, etc.
Amphibians are dependent upon water, and are not found far from some body of water such as a lake, river, or stream.
It's an amphibian becuase...most reptiles cannot survive underwater and since it grows legs and lungs later on then yes it is an amphibion XD
No, not all animals that hatch from eggs are considered amphibians. Amphibians are a specific group of vertebrates that include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts.Other animals that hatch from eggs could be reptiles (like snakes or turtles) or birds.
No, certainly not! Reptiles, such as tortoises, snakes, lizards and crocodiles, have scales instead of fur. Amphibians, like frogs, toads and salamanders, don't have fur either.
A herpetologist is a zoologist who specializes in reptiles and amphibians, including crocodilians, amphisbaenians, lizards, snakes, and turtles and tortoises. The word "herpetology" comes from the Greek herpeton that means "to creep."
Reptiles, amphibians and fish are all cold-blooded vertebrates.
They are all reptiles, so reptiles and amphibians, as the two groups are usually lumped together.
