Aquatic turtles tend to have webbed feet for swimming. Sea turtles (Cheloniidae family) are especially adapted for an aquatic life, with long feet that form flippers and a streamlined body shape.

What environment are turtles adapted to?

Turtles are adapted to various aquatic and terrestrial environments depending on the species. Aquatic turtles, like sea turtles, are adapted for swimming and live in oceans, seas, and freshwater habitats. Terrestrial turtles, such as box turtles, are adapted to living on land and can be found in forests, grasslands, and deserts.


How many eggs do aquatic turtles have?

What is a herbivore tortoise?

The majority of tortoises are herbivores, with some species eating largely grasses, and others eating mainly broadleaved plants, but there are a few species that are omnivorous (such as red-footed and yellow-footed tortoises), and these species will also eat insects, worms, and carrion. Some species of herbivorous tortoises include the Galapagos tortoise, the Aldabra tortoise, the African Spur-thigh tortoise, the Greek tortoise, and the Hermann's tortoise. Tortoises are reptiles, part of the order Chelonia, along with turtles. Tortoises are terrestrial (they live on land), while turtles may be terrestrial, semi-aquatic, or aquatic. The majority of turtles are omnivorous, with some being carnivorous. Tortoises generally have rounded feet with strong claws, while turtles have broader feet that are webbed or partially webbed. (Sea turtles, of course, have flippers).


Are turtles and tortoises the same thing?

No, turtles and tortoises are not the same thing. Turtles are aquatic or semi-aquatic reptiles with flat, streamlined shells for swimming, while tortoises are land-dwelling reptiles with domed shells designed for protection.
